Zusatztext Heidelberg - den meisten Inbegriff einer malerischen! beschaulichen Kleinstadtim romantischen Neckartal - wird für Robert L. Dornheim zur Schule desBösen: Meinen ersten Mord beging ich im Alter von sieben Jahren. Der Namedes Opfers war Franziska. - Oder Friederike? Jedenfalls war sie bei unsangestellt. Als Kindermädchen und Küchenhilfe. Ein sündloses Dummchen vonschätzungsweise achtundzwanzig Jahren. Wir bewohnten damals das Haus Albert-Ueberle-StraßeNummer zwei! am Fuße des Heiligenbergs! unterhalb des Philosophenwegs.Natürlich hatten die Dornheims Personal. Da war zunächst eine tatterigeZugehfrau mit Namen Waltraud Wonnewisser! von allen nur Tante Wally gerufen.Selbst fast völlig erblindet! wurde sie nicht müde! meiner Mutter einzureden!vielmehr einzuflüstern! ich hätte 'den bösen Blick'. Es gibt aber aucheinen tröstlichen Aspekt der Geschichte Robert L. Dornheims: Wann immermeine rechte Hand einen Menschen zu Tode brachte! hob die linke mahnendden Zeigefinger! Da stellt sich doch die Frage! ob solche Verbrechen nochunmoralisch genannt werden können. Aber urteilen Sie selbst... Informationen zum Autor Brian Moore received his B.A. in Natural Sciences in 1968 and his Ph.D. in Psychoacoustics in 1971, both from the University of Cambridge, England. He is currently Professor of Auditory Perception in the University of Cambridge. He has also been a Visiting Professor at Brooklyn College, the City University of New York, and the University of California at Berkeley and was a van Houten Fellow at the Institute for Perception Research, Eindhoven, the Netherlands. He is a Fellow of the Acoustical Society of America and a member of the Experimental Psychology Society (U.K.), the British Society of Audiology, The American Speech-Language Hearing Association, The American Auditory Society, The Acoustical Society of Japan, the Audio Engineering Society and the Association for Research in Otolaryngology. He is President of the Association of Independent Hearing Healthcare Professionals. He has published 10 books and over 280 scientific papers and book chapters.

Report
"This effort is written explicitly as a handbook and could easily be used as a text in a graduate-level course. It is distinguished by three factors: its comprehensive coverage, the high quality of its content, and the uniformity of writing styles used by its contributors. These attributes are a testament to the efforts of both the editor and contributors. The latter are a truly diverse group being drawn in approximately equal numbers from the United States and Britain with a single contributor each from Australia and The Netherlands.... this is clearly a volume that should be on the shelves of every student of the hearing process whether they are veteran researchers or still in graduate school. Additionally, it will serve as an excellent sourcebook for those whose interest in hearing is more casual." --CONTEMPORARY PSYCHOLOGY
"My aim in editing this volume was to cover all major areas of hearing research with a series of coordinated and well-integrated chapters. Authors were asked particularly to emphasize concepts and mechanisms, and to attempt whenever possible to explain not just what the empirical data show, but also why they show a particular pattern.... There are many links between the phenomena and theories described in the different chapters. These links are pointed out in the extensive cross references between chapters. This should help the reader who wants to find out as much as possible about a specific topic." --BRIAN C.J. MOORE
