`This remarkable book is unlike any other I have reviewed, for a variety of reasons. Firstly, at 700 pages and with 34 chapters, the sheer scale of the collection is vast. The editors state that the book is not definitive, but represents a creative work in progress. However, the collection certainly provides a unique insight into the current debates and issues which frame disability studies, combining a variety of different backgrounds and a diverse range of experiences, and this manifests in the way that the chapters range across academic disciplines. Consequently, the book is aimed at a wide audience including disabled people, practitioners, academics and those involved in forming social welfare policies' - Medical Sociology News

The Handbook of Disability Studies answers the need expressed by the disability community for a thought-provoking, interdisciplinary, international examination of the vibrant field of disability studies. Drawing on the insights of disability scholars from around the world and the creative advice of an international editorial board, the Handbook signals the emergence of a vital new area of scholarship, social policy and activism.
