This second edition of Pigliacampo's "Dictionary of Disability, Handicap, and Rehabilitation" expands significantly, adding hundreds of new entries. Rather than viewing disability as a deviation from some presumed standard of health, the author offers a framework that connects the world of typical abilities with that of diverse abilities. He understands disability as a continuum—one that measures the degree of individual well-being within the larger social context. www.armando.it
