Reviews

This book is a gem! Meticulously written by an impressive team of Deaf and hearing co-authors, it's an invaluable textbook for all who aspire to broaden their knowledge and understanding of a unique and fascinating community of people. - Glenn B. Anderson, Ph.D., Professor Emeritus, University of Arkansas, Little Rock, USA This is one of my favorite kaleidoscopes of deaf children, youth and adults - presenting lots of information and making it one of the best textbooks for college students and a wonderful resource for every teacher and professional working with deaf people. The details in the new edition are rich with much depth, providing great insights and also a foundation for anyone teaching and working with the deaf community. - Paul W. Ogden, Professor Emeritus, California State University, Fresno, and Founder of The Silent Garden, USA
