This handbook offers an excellent and broad overview of most aspects of this in Germany rather new subject. As a handbook it's not so suitable as textbook for a course, but some chapters are good for supplemental reading.

An excellent introduction for anyone who is interested in reading and writing about disability. Should be essential reading for programmes in the caring professions

This text does what it says it will. It provides a library of material for the Disability Studies reader. A second edition would be very helpful but in its absence I recommend this to anyone who has an interest in Disability Studies.
