5.0 out of 5 stars excellent, December 10, 2008
Susan Stefan's book, "Unequal Rights" is published by the American Psychological Association and, as such, it bears both the benefits (high quality) and liabilities (periodically it feels elementary and on occasion, she pushes the spheres of logic) of such a publication. It is written in an excellent, scholarly yet quite readable manner. It covers germane topics. It is an invaluable resource for targeted scholars, professionals, caregivers, and ADA clients. Overall, this is an excellent book and well worth the purchase price for anyone who works with ADA or MD folks!
