This book is divided into 5 sections:
Section A: Introduction
Section B: Pronunciation of words and phrases (it includes consonant clusters, stress and foreign words)
Section C: Pronunciation in conversation (it includes features of connected speech, prominence and intonation)
Section D: Pronunciation in formal settings
Section E: Reference
This book is for self-study since it contains the keys. I also bought the 5 CDs, which are very useful if you want to listen to native speakers (although you will find speakers of English as a second language too). I liked the book, specially Sections B and C because they dealt with topics that I studied at university. I'd recommend this book to advanced learners who need to improve their pronunciation, specially if they are future teachers or translators in their second year at university.

It contains helpful details and examples that made my speech better!
It's recommended to accompany yourself with the audio samples.
