The Invention of Miracles: Language, Power, and Alexander Graham Bell's Quest to End Deafness by Katie Booth

4.0

Hardly as controversial as I was expecting, but still a great history on the oralism vs. manualism schools of thought regarding language acquisition for those who are potential members of Deaf culture. I am an audiologist and used to work dispensing hearing aids to the Deaf so this book was up my vocational alley— but not in a “work inservice for CEU” way at all.
