Deaf Career Books

Deaf Persons in the Arts and Sciences by Harry G. Lang; Bonnie Meath-Lang

More than 70 eminent deaf people, past and contemporary, are briefly profiled. Read about deaf Americans (culturally -- Deaf to oral: born-deaf to late-deafened) in a variety of fields, from aviation to teaching. Each chapter is illustrated with portraits or photographs.
Movers and Shakers, Deaf People Who Changed the World
Deafness did not stop Thomas Edison or Ludwig Van Beethoven, nor did it stop activist Helen Keller or sculptor Douglas Tiden. Also included in this book are stories of previously unrecognized heroes: a Souix warrior, a British princess, a Russian scientist, and a Japanese scholar. The book highlights 26 extraordinary individuals—not because they were deaf—but because of the impact they made on their own society and the world we live in today. As you read about these deaf people whose genius, struggles, and perseverance changed the world, you will find page after page of inspiration and adventure.
Silence of the Spheres
Lang shares an exhaustive summary of the contributions of deaf and hard of hearing individuals to science, engineering, invention, and medicine.
