Ms. English has written a very concise and useful book for audiologist and educators. Very few people have been able to link more clearly than she the impact of hearing loss on education and how that hearing loss makes educational attainment that much more difficult for these children. Not only does she talk about the responsibilities of audiologists, but also of parents and educators in making learning more accessible for students who are deaf or have varying degrees of hearing loss. The book provides significant background and references which can further the education of those interested in helping this particular population cease to be at high risk both in education and other areas, such as medical care. I highly encourage libraries, teachers of Deaf children, and medical students to be exposed to this book or to purchase it for their continued use. I am constantly finding new information in it that I missed in the first reading and it continues to be one of my primary reference books in my library. She is both fair and practical, and this certainly is one of the first books of its kind. Karen L. Sadler, Science Education, University of Pittsburgh, klsst23@pitt.edu
