Synopsis:

This volume examines questions related to the prevention, compensation, and accommodation of work disabilities. It focuses on disabilities arising out of workplace activity.

Review:

"Why is it so easy to recommend this book to JVIB readers --more precisely, to readers keenly interested in designing and applying disability policy to the complex area loosely summarized as 'the workplace'? Two virtues stand out: analytic sophistication and a reasonably balanced perspective on hotly debated issues."

--Corinne Kirchner "Journal of Visual Impairment and Blindness "

"The editors and contributors highlight the inevitable trade-offs that are involved in disability in the workplace, and make policy recommendations that are generally reasonable and backed by careful analysis and often new research findings."

--Morley Gunderson, Dept. of Economics, University of Toronto "Industrial and Labor Relations Review "
