The first major behind-the-scenes account of the history, passage, and impact of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)--the landmark moment for disability rights The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is the widest-ranging and most comprehensive piece of civil rights legislation ever passed in the United States, and it has become the model for disability-based laws around the world. Yet the surprising story behind how the bill came to be is little known. In this riveting account, acclaimed disability scholar Lennard J. Davis delivers the first on-the-ground narrative of how a band of leftist Berkeley hippies managed to make an alliance with upper-crust, conservative Republicans to bring about a truly bipartisan bill. Based on extensive interviews with all the major players involved including legislators and activists, Davis recreates the dramatic tension of a story that is anything but a dry account of bills and speeches. Rather, it's filled with one indefatigable character after another, culminating in explosive moments when the hidden army of the disability community stages scenes like the iconic Capitol Crawl or an event when students stormed Gallaudet University demanding a Deaf President Now From inside the offices of newly formed disability groups to secret breakfast meetings surreptitiously held outside the White House grounds, here we meet countless unsung characters, including political heavyweights and disability advocates on the front lines. You want to fight? an angered Ted Kennedy would shout in an upstairs room at the Capitol while negotiating the final details of the ADA. Congressman Tony Coelho, whose parents once thought him to be possessed by the devil because of his epilepsy, later became the bill's primary sponsor. There's Justin Dart, adorned in disability power buttons and his signature cowboy hat, who took to the road canvassing 50 states, and people like Patrisha Wright, also known as The General, Arlene Myerson or the brains, architect Bob Funk, and visionary Mary Lou Breslin, who left the hippie highlands of the West to pursue equal rights in the marble halls of DC.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. Young Genius is a bright little boy who escorts children through the pages of this amusing and instructive color-illustrated book. Children share Young Genius's knowledge about their bones when they find the answers to these and other questions: What would you look like if you didn't have any bones? Where is the longest bone in the body? Which foods are best for making bones strong? Young Genius books explain different parts of the human body to children, showing and telling kids how each part works. In each book, Young Genius also talks about nourishing foods to help keep those body parts in great condition, and he asks questions that will prompt boys and girls to giggle--but also to get a clearer understanding of how their bodies function. The language is easy enough for children in early grades to understand, and the information is sound and reliable. One illustration in each book features tabs for kids to lift, look, and better understand how their bodies work. Cartoon-style color illustrations on every page. Gulliksen, Eivind (illustrator).…

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. "Talking in your sleep was never so funny.[Adam Lennard's] nighttime alter-ego is rude and crude and certainly sounds insane."-- ABC News (online) on the Sleep Talkin' Man blog Karen Slavick met Adam Lennard in 1991 on a Kibbutz in Israel, where he declared his love for her by passing out in her bed while he waited for her to return from a midnight swim. Understandably, she never forgot him. Over a decade later, they rekindled their romance and married--but then he fell asleep again, and all hell broke loose. Though he's a romantic and mild-mannered Englishman by day, Adam quickly morphs into the uproariously foul-mouthed, vegetarian-hating, wildlife-obsessed character beloved by millions as Sleep Talkin' Man. And Karen has the audio tapes to prove it. Sleep Talkin' Man collects the best of his questionable wisdom along with tales from blog readers, and stories of how love can bloom--even when your beloved is a nocturnal maniac. By turns crude and charming, Sleep Talkin' Man is a hilariously candid journey into one man's dreamland.…
