Legal Rights of Persons With Disabilities An Analysis of Federal Law

"A valuable library resource for employers, educators, & even the most sophisticated practitioner dealing with the rights of Americans with disabilities." says Robert Silverstein, Esq., Staff Director of the Senate Subcommittee on Disability Policy, who also reports that authors Tucker & Goldstein have "done an outstanding job examining this complex area of federal authority & have produced a treatise that is thoroughly researched, well annotated, & exhaustively analyzed." The book provides an analysis of laws enacted by Congress to eliminate the major types of discrimination confronted by Americans with disabilities who seek to participate in the mainstream of society. Topics covered include employment, education, public accommodations, housing, transportation, access to services, the elimination of architectural barriers, & disabled newborns. "This book has it all" - David M. Capozzi, Project ACTION. Familiarity with the primary issues, laws & cases dealing with those topics will introduce - & sensitize - the reader to the depth of the discrimination faced by Americans with disabilities, & to the scope of awareness & effort required to alleviate that discrimination. While analyzing these laws, the authors often leave you pondering the justice of certain decisions, the ambiguity of existing law, the necessity for further legislation, & the dilemmas of reality.Tucker, Bonnie Poitras is the author of 'Legal Rights of Persons With Disabilities An Analysis of Federal Law' with ISBN 9780934753463 and ISBN 0934753466.
