A stunning book that delves into human education and capability, and the resulting value and stigma we derive from it. However, in its mission to handle special education and learning disorders, I would have liked to see the book focus a bit less on the academic aspects of life but also interactions with the general public and public space and how intelligence and ability is perceived there.
