The following two introductions to phonetics cover much the same ground as this
course, but with the emphasis mainly on English:
P. Ashby, Speech Sounds (Routledge, 1995).
J. C. Wells & G. Colson, Practical Phonetics (Pitman, 1971).
More advanced coverage is to be found in:
P. Ladefoged, A Course in Phonetics (Harcourt, 2001).
M.J. Ball & J. Rahilly, Phonetics: the Science of Speech (Arnold, 1999)
H. Rogers, The Sounds of Language: an Introduction to Phonetics (Pearson,
2000)
Most general books about Linguistics include an introductory chapter on phonetics.
One good example is:
V. Fromkin & R. Rodman, An Introduction to Language (Holt Rinehart, 1998):
chapter 2.
The standard work of reference for English phonetics is:
A. C. Gimson, An Introduction to the Pronunciation of English (Arnold, 1980).
For other languages see:
B. Tranel, The Sounds of French (Cambridge University Press, 1988).
A. Coveney, The Sounds of Contemporary French (Elm Bank, 2001).
C. Hall, Modern German Pronunciation (Manchester University Press, 1992).
R.M. Hammond, The Sounds of Spanish (Cascadilla, 2001).
