The Life and Times of T. H. Gallaudet
Edna Edith Sayers has written the definitive biography of T. H. Gallaudet (1787-1851), celebrated today as the founder of deaf education in America. Sayers traces Gallaudet's work in the fields of deaf education, free common schools, literacy, teacher education and certification, and children's books, while also examining his role in reactionary causes intended to uphold a white, Protestant nation thought to have existed in New England's golden past. Gallaudet's youthful social and political entanglements included involvement with Connecticut's conservative, state-established Congregational Church, the Federalist Party, and the Counter-Enlightenment ideals of Yale (where he was a student). He later embraced anti-immigrant, anti-abolition, and anti-Catholic efforts, and supported the expatriation of free African-Americans to settlements on Africa's west coast. As much a history of the paternalistic, bigoted, and class-conscious roots of a reform movement as a story of one man's life, this landmark work will surprise and enlighten both the hearing and Deaf worlds.

A New History of Cataract Surgery: From antiquity through 1750
"Cataract surgery has been the procedure which has almost defined the profession of ophthalmology for millennia. Patients have understood that cataract surgery could transform their lives, in an almost miraculous way. Much of the history of this surgery has been handed down to us, and, on occasion, we have inherited some myths along with the facts. In this two-volume monograph, we sought to uncover the reality behind the myths. This book is entitled A New History of Cataract Surgery because it is based on original research from primary sources. It is the work of 44 co-authors, from North America, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia. It contains new translations from Latin, Greek, Sanskrit, Chinese, Arabic, Persian, French, Dutch, and German. It contains photographs from private collections. We sought to tell stories you might have heard a little about, from antiquity onward, in a new way. Many of the chapters in this book covering the 20th century were written by ophthalmologists who lived through the revolutionary changes in their field, and were prime movers in making these advances."--An introduction by Christopher T. Leffler.
