Activist and educator Karp writes specifically for those with spinal cord injuries but his advice applies to anyone on wheels who works, commutes, goes to the market, takes care of the house,
falls in love and has kids, which should cover just about everybody in the community. With grace and wit he tackles the initial moments, rehabilitation, staying healthy, dealing with the
so-called able-bodied, selecting and maintaining wheelchairs, enjoying intimacy and sex (and babies), getting the home and workplace in shape and getting out there. New members of the community
will find Karp’s approach helpful and encouraging, and those who’ve spent some time on wheels will find him empathetic and completely free of sniveling. Fully updated with the latest rulings
and technologies. Annotation ©2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
