Summary: A move n' shake in the wrong direction?
Comment: Though very informative and easy to read, I fear that this book may unintentionally "mislead" the public on some of its "facts". Much of these are based on what the "deaf" library has - and omits a large part of the actual findings made by the larger public. And while the authors and other deaf activists would probably object vigorously to this review, I beg them to consider the importance of full disclosure in their writings.

All in all, a great read!

Summary: The best cultural experience...
Comment: I'm a history buff, and this book is one of my favorites. This is a wonderful opportunity to educate both deaf and hearing individuals about individuals who are deaf. For too long, deaf movers and shakers have disregarded. Even if they were given recognition, there'd be only one line saying: "..and he is hearing impaired." There is more to these individuals. With this book, I am able to visualize the experience of Beethoven, and chuckle at the situation imposed on Deaf Smith. The book captures the human nature of renowned deaf individuals.

The writing style's appealing, and I certainly think more history writers use this book as an example of quality material...
