It is written in a clear and accessible language and the topics are introduced in a coherent and easy to follow manner with the complexity of the material gradually increasing from the beginning towards the end of the book. Even rather complicated concepts are made easy to understand with an exceptional use of analogy and a commendable restraint from going into too many mathematical and technical details...this is a well-written, well-structured, easy-to-follow workbook which boasts an excellent set of practical exercises and demonstrations and covers a wide range of techniques. Overall, those readers who have a basic background in phonetics and statistics and are prepared to work their way carefully through this book will be greatly rewarded with its informativeness and effectiveness.\" (\u003ci\u003eLINGUIST List\u003c\/i\u003e, January 2011)\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJonathan Harrington\u003c\/b\u003e is Professor of the Institute of Phonetics and Speech Processing (IPS), Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich, Germany.
