unique perspectives through combining discussion of current research with insights gained from clinical experience. These insights help the text achieve its aim of promoting the idea of an excellent clinician by providing information that few other textbooks draw explicit attention to. A simple example of this comes early on where Hallowell discusses the sometimes quirky and humorous nature of errors in aphasia and the shared appreciation of these instances between the person with aphasia and speech- language pathologist. Similarly, chapters describing specific intervention approaches for different aspects of language rehabilitation are particularly clear and helpful, in providing a simple step-by-step guide to implementation, along with general principles and an overview of the research evidence. As with many texts published by Plural, there is perhaps a slight emphasis on research evidence generated within the United States in preference to other parts of the world, although this is not to say that the research cited is not high quality. Some readers may also have only a passing interest when discussion turns to issues around reimbursement, Medicare, and Medicaid, although Hallowell is mindful to acknowledge differences in health care systems across major English-speaking countries such as Australia and the United Kingdom. Overall, there is a lot to appreciate about this new and ambitious text. Although many other texts may explore the nature, description, assessment, and intervention of aphasia in much finer and rigorous detail, few, if any, texts offer such an effective and engaging balance between current knowledge and clinical insight.

Along the way the topics explored reflect current trends and priority areas such as language in the context of ageing, cultural competence in view of increasing immigration patterns, apps for intervention, and complementary and integrative approaches to intervention.

Even within chapters that explore familiar topics, such as the ICF and its application to aphasia and cognitive- communication, assessment tools and methods, and theories and approaches to intervention, Hallowell offers
