Book Synopsis
Based on scholarship presented at a 2003 conference held at Gallaudet University, this collection of thirteen essays explores the complex sociological interplay between genetics and deafness, as viewed by a distinguished panel of scholars and scientists from the platforms of their respective disciplines. Noted contributors include Louis Menand, who offers up a meditation on the value of human diversity, and geneticist Walter E. Nance, who discusses the importance of scientific knowledge in empowering individuals to make informed personal decisions.

Trade Review
"This handsomely presented volume... will be necessary reading for all interested in the genetics and heredity of deafness and the ethical and public policy issues associated with genetic screening and engineering, and useful also for those interested in the disability field generally." (Disability Studies Quarterly)"
