Items related to Seeing Voices
Written by the author of "The Man Who Mistook his Wife for a Hat", this book begins with the history of deaf people in the 18th century, the often outrageous ways in which they have been treated in the past, and their continuing struggle for acceptance in a hearing world. And it examines the visual language of the deaf - Sign - which has only in the past decade been recognized fully as a language linguistically complete, rich, and as expressive as any spoken language. Oliver Sacks has also written "Migraine", "Awakenings" and "A Leg to Stand on".

Empathetic, intelligent and compassionate. (Guardian)
Scholarly and carefully documented, Seeing Voices makes the gigantic leap so essential to understanding total deafness. (Sunday Telegraph)
A passionate meditation on the richness of sign language. (Independent)
