Comprehensive overview of Sign Language and those who use it

Language in Motion presents a great overview of American Sign Language history, structure and its role as the mode of communication between deaf people. This book is easy to read and presents concepts clearly, in an orderly fashion. I recommend this book for those who need an introduction to the unique world of sign or those that need an concise guide to ASL and its culture. The authors also address the role of ASL in society today.
