"Here, in a handy question-and-answer format, are answers to some of the most commonly asked questions about deaf people, their community, and their language. Concise, easy-to-read, designed for those with no prior background. For Hearing People Only makes a formidably complex subject accessible. Each chapter can be read as an independent unit. This is the first book of its kind--written especially for laypeople who are curious about deaf people, and would like to separate truth from stereotype, fact from misconception, reality from myth"--Back of cover.
