The leading book is by my colleague down the hall, Bruce Goldstein. I do not
use it because it emphasizes physiology more than I like in the course, but it
is an excellent text. My favorite is Schiffman, in part because it has a
chapter on the vestibular system, which I think is important to cover, and
because he makes more references to my work than the other books. :-)
I have used Matlin when I wanted a briefer book. It used to be rather low
level, and not well done. The latest edition, however, is quite good.
I will be eager to see the new Sekuler.
