Interesting reading

This book covers alot of subjects in deaf culture and the individuals of that culture and those who participate in it. It's alot more than just a culture book, yet it does touch in that area. Just as the title says, it covers. I feel it goes beyond culture to understand the individual within that culture, the Deaf and those that play a role in their lives. I think it is interesting, and not a boring at all. Because of this, I'm learning alot. This book has so many areas, that after you read it, it is one of those books you would have on hand as reference for later.

deaf education
