Stuttering is an extremely complex and often misunderstood disorder. Marcel Wingate has been a prolific author in the area of fluency disorders for over 40 years. The primary aims of his book, Foundations of Stuttering, are to debunk prevailing lore about the disorder of stuttering and to present evidence that supports stuttering as a disorder of speech control. To this end, common misperceptions about stuttering are highlighted and extensive literature reviews have been undertaken and, importantly, the stance presented in the book is supported by recent neuroimaging investigations that have demonstrated neural correlates for stuttering (e.g., Fox et al., 2000; Ingham, Fox, Costello Ingham, & Zamarripa, 2000; Sommer, Koch, Paulus, Weiller, & Buchel, 2002). The author emphasises that the study of stuttering must be approached from a reference point of what is known about speech and its production. The book is divided into four parts and within each section are a number of chapters pertaining to particular themes. At the end of each chapter is a useful and concise summary.
