Deaf Persons in the Arts and Science: A Biographical Dictionary


By Harry G. Lang and Bonnie Meath-Lang





-- From an essay by a hearing college student

"This is a tremendously inspirational book for everyone. Hearing people can get a new perspective on deafness and deaf people. ...Great inventors, artists, scientists, and leaders all in one book for the enjoyment and education of so many tickles me."



-- From an essay by a deaf college student

"It sure did give me a bit of a motivation to do what I want to go for. I can't continually think of my deafness blocking my dream."



-- From an essay by a deaf college student

"I am now more aware of how we (deaf) have to work twice as hard to get where we want to be, to get what we need, to get support and equal rights. By doing this we will make it easier for our next generations to have more equal access to life as did the past generations made it easier for us today."



-- Writer doing an article for a magazine

"I just wanted to thank you for this valuable resource!!"



-- Former president of the National Association of the Deaf

"This book is a must resource book for students and other interested readers to learn about deaf people, Deaf Culture and the deaf community. It is also a must book to be on the shelf in every school and community library."



-- Librarian

"Both (of your books) are marvelous works which I believe every member of the deaf community and as many hearing people as possible should read."



-- University professor

"I found the biographies in the book quite interesting and inspiring, what a job it must have been to collect the information and put it together in a book. I have sent notices to all arts and sciences department chairs...notifying them of the book which I will place in our university library."



-- Magazine editor

"(Deaf Persons in the Arts and Sciences) supplies a ton of data that shows deaf people can do anything. Further, (the authors) show that they have been doing it for a long time."
