Produced in collaboration with U.S. Paralympics and the International Paralympic Committee, RAISING THE BAR is an intimate, visually rich, elegantly produced portrayal of the international community of disability sports. From the first international games in 1952 at Stoke Mandeville to today's newly high-profile Paralympics, the athletes who strive for excellence against physical challenges and social stigma bring new depth and dignity to the human effort to succeed. In this groundbreaking volume, in-action portraits by a host of celebrated photographs, along with the words of the athletes themselves, are collected together for the very first time.
