Over the past decade there has been a significant increase in interest from educators and the general public about deafness, special education, and the development of children with special needs. The education of deaf children in the United States has been seen as a remarkable success story around the world, even while it continues to engender domestic debate. In Educating Deaf Students: From Research to Practice, Marc Marschark, Harry G. Lang, and John A. Albertini set aside the politics, rhetoric, and confusion that often accompany discussions of deaf education. Instead they offer an accessible evaluation of the research literature on the needs and strengths of deaf children and on the methods that have been used-successfully and unsuccessfully-to teach both deaf and hearing children. The authors lay out the common assumptions that have driven deaf education for many years, revealing some of them to be based on questionable methods, conclusions, or interpretations, while others have been lost in the cacophony of alternative educational philosophies. They accompany their historical consideration of how this came to pass with an evaluation of the legal and social conditions surrounding deaf education today. By evaluating what we know, what we do not know, and what we thought we knew about learning among deaf children, the authors provide parents, teachers, and administrators valuable new insights into educating deaf students and others with special needs.

Sam Coverly was an entrepreneur and an adventurous traveler. His trading took him to China and England, to Montreal and Washington, DC, and as far west as the Missouri Territory. His detailed descriptions of the people and places he visits will appeal to students of early American history and maritime and cultural historians. Born in 1793, the same year as George Washington began his second term as President of the United States, Sam lived to see national roads and a canal built to the western frontier and steamboats plying rivers and lakes. He saw a ten-fold population increase in his beloved Boston and a doubling of the country's landmass. His journal and correspondence provide readers with eyewitness accounts of life in a rapidly expanding country at the threshold of industrialization and a transportation revolution.
