While learning a new language isn't easy for everyone, American Sign
Language finally makes it easy. The clear layout, succinct information,
and topic-specific sign language partnered with high-quality photos
enable quick learning. By a "bilingual" author whose parents were both
deaf, and photographed by a design professor at the leading deaf
university, Gallaudet, it covers all the basic building blocks of
communication. It does so with a view to each reader's reason for
learning, whether teaching a toddler basic signs or communicating with a
deaf coworker. Readers will come away with a usable knowledge base
rather than a collection of signs with limited use.
