The subject matter is educational, informative, entertaining, intriguing and often very real-life.¿ Excerpt From The Introduction... ¿Persons with Disabilities, I feel, are the people to lead the world down the path towards a more open communication of shared knowledge and information. We represent every single race, class, gender, culture and ability around the world. We have seen every social circumstance; from deep poverty to the achievement of Doctoral degrees and high offices. We have known stigma, outright prejudice, great love, humility, and every range of emotion you can imagine. Our spiritual values cover the entire realm of human experience. Physically, we have experienced every condition known to human kind. Our experiences, knowledge, and the information we have as individuals and communities are stunning. Who is better equipped to lead the world towards a more open and widespread sharing of that same knowledge and information so desperately needed in this world?¿ ¿...The wealth of shared knowledge and information achieved as a result of expressions of courtesy and patience with others, enhancing the communication process, presents the ability to change the very world around us. We, as Persons with Disabilities, are in a unique position to help humanity. Let us, ´open the door,´ so to speak. Let us promote the process of sharing knowledge and information on all levels, providing an example that the world has not experienced before. Let our example help humanity to grow, and improve, so that all will benefit.¿ Ability Lane - Book Information Home Chapter List Excerpts About the Author Buy the Book Back to Ability Corner
