Silence of the Spheres: The Deaf Experience in the History of Science

'œLang provides an exhaustive researched history of participation in the sciences by people who are deaf. As a deaf scientist himself, Lang provides an insider's view. In addition to a thorough account of deaf men and women's contributions to the sciences, this book is an excellent historical reference in the areas of deaf education, societal influence on attitudes surrounding deafness, and the effects of technology on the lives of deaf people. Of particular value is the demonstration of accomplishments by people who are deaf. An excellent resource for parents of deaf or hearing-impaired children and for many deaf readers, particularly teenagers who do not have extensive access to deaf role models.'' ChoiceHarry G.
