Review

"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)

"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)
