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."
