Tennant, Marianne Gluszak Brown Gallaudet University Press, 1998 The CD alone is worth 5 stars I know it says this has a DVD, however it only plays on a computer. So I'll call it a CD. The CD alone is why I gave it a 5 star rating. I use this almost everyday as I study for my ASL class. You can increase the screen size which is good for me since sometimes it's hard for me to see the fingers. You can also go in slow motion. I also find that this CD has the newer signs unlike many of ...             A Place of Their Own: Creating the Deaf Community in America6 reviews John Vickrey Van Cleve, Barry A. Crouch Gallaudet University Press, 1989 Excellent book on the cultural/social history of the deaf For a long time I have been searching for such book like this! It is excellent resources for the people, who are interested to learn American Sign Language, to become aware of richly deaf cultural/social history. The authors know where to find such wealthy of information, yet their writings are brevity along with several examples of where the deaf people have been interacted in order to ...             Linguistics of American Sign Language: An Introduction, 4th Ed.4 reviews Clayton Valli, Ceil Lucas, ... Gallaudet University Press, 2005 Definitive linguistic compendium Written by the team of Clayton Valli, Ceil Lucas (Professor of Linguistics in the department of Linguistics as Gallaudet University), and Kristin J. Mulroney (Assistant Professor of Linguistics in the Department of Linguistics as Gallaudet University), Linguistics of American Sign Language is an in-depth reference and resource for intermediate to expert linguistic students, scholars and ...             Deaf Like Me12 reviews Thomas S. Spradley, James P. Spradley Gallaudet University Press, 1985 A universal story told in particulars--strongly recommended "Deaf Like Me" is one of my favorite books of all time in any genre, and I heartily recommend it to anyone who comes across this page. The book is a richly detailed autobiography of one family's struggles to grow up with deafness in mid-1960s America. As such, it provides a terrific introduction into a key moment in the history of deaf education when deaf children were still suffering from a ...             Teach Your Tot to Sign: The Parents' Guide to American Sign Language21 reviews Stacy A. Thompson Gallaudet University Press, 2005 Wonderful Signing Starter Book We have been doing sign language with both of our babies since around 6 mos of age, and this book has been priceless. Very easy to use, very informative.             American Sign Language Green Books, A Student's Text Units 10-18 (American Sign Language Series) Charlotte Baker-Shenk Gallaudet University Press, 1991             American Sign Language Green Books, A Student's Text Units 1-9 (Green Book Series)2 reviews Charlotte Baker-Shenk Gallaudet University Press, 1991 For those with ASL experience, but wonderful! This book is a fascinating study of the linguistics of ASL. I have read other reviews that commented about the book's complexity. Yes, it's true, this book is not for someone just starting to study the language. However, in a classroom setting, a student in a more advanced level will find the book quite rewarding to read. Dennis Cokely and Charlotte Baker-Shenk have produced a thoroughly ...             The Comprehensive Signed English Dictionary (The Signed English Series)9 reviews Gallaudet University Press, 1983 This is the Book! My son is currently nine and is nonverbal. Further, the chances that he will become verbal are very slim indeed. When I purchased this book, it was recommended by his speech teacher. I first thought it was a book teaching me "A, B, C" etc. In fact, signed English allows you to speak in words instead of letters. My son will never get letters but he certainly relates to words. This book ...             American Sign Language Green Books, A Teacher's Resource Text on Grammar and Culture (American Sign Language ...2 reviews Charlotte Baker-Shenk Gallaudet University Press, 1991 Excellent Resource for Teachers & Serious Students This book is designed for a teacher as part of the "Green Books" American Sign Language series; however, it is a very useful guide to ASL Grammar and Culture for anyone studying American Sign Language seriously (I, myself, am not a teacher, but have a copy of the book). I was introduced to the book when I first began learning sign language, and it was very confusing to me. I would have ...             The Gallaudet Dictionary of American Sign Language17 reviews Gallaudet University Press, 2006 Help for ASL Students I have been taking American Sign Language classes for almost two years now. Many of the "book" dictionaries try to illustrate the proper motions and facial expressions for ASL signs, but trying to show these signs in static two-dimensional images, even with descriptions, left me uncertain in many cases. I did use some online dictionaries that demonstrated ASL signs with video clips, but the ...             Conversational Sign Language II: An Intermediate Advanced Manual1 review Willard Madsen Gallaudet University Press, 1972 An excellent addition!!! This book is an excellent addition to my collection on sign language texts. I would caution someone who is very new to sign language to hold off on this particular book due to the lack of pictures. Also, some of the signs are outdated (Especially the country and city signs... but these, after all, seem to change on a somewhat DAILY basis). All in all, this book is wonderful at illustrating the ...             The American Sign Language Handshape Starter: A Beginner's Guide1 review Richard A. Tennant, Marianne Gluszak Brown Gallaudet University Press, 2002 Deceiving Cover I bought the book off the shelf in a book store based on the cover. The cover shows photos of hand signs leading people to believe that is how all the signs are presented. They are not! The book on the shelf was sealed in plastic, so it wasn't until I got it home that I discovered the all signs are presented in cartoon form. The material itself is easy to understand and use. But if you're ...             Deaf Professionals and Designated Interpreters: A New Paradigm Gallaudet University Press, 2008 Deaf Professionals and Designated Interpreters: A New Paradigm defines a new model that depends upon strong partnerships between the growing number of deaf experts and their interpreters. Editors Peter C. Hauser, Karen L. Finch, and Angela B. Hauser have called upon more than a score of widely respected researchers to discuss the new dynamics of interpreting for deaf professionals. Divided into two parts, this volume first delineates ...             The Signed English Starter (The Signed English Series)3 reviews Harry Bornstein, Karen L. Saulnier Gallaudet University Press, 1984 very easy to follow instructions I have had several classes using this text             Learning To See1 review Phyllis Perrin Wilcox, Sherman Wilcox Gallaudet University Press, 1997 Basic ASL instruction This is a basic ASL teaching book. Very few pictures and mostly information for people teaching beginners ASL. It does have some interesting features that make it worth a glance.             Living with Hearing Loss1 review Marcia B. Dugan Gallaudet University Press, 2003 A "must-read" for anyone coping with hearing loss Marcia B. Dugan is a hearing-impaired person who has formerly served as a president and currently a member of the Board of Directors of Self Help for Hard of Hearing People. In Living With Hearing Loss, Dugan provides the reader with a straightforward guidebook and reference to day-to-day life and adaptation to hearing loss. From recognizing the early signs of hearing loss, to information ...             Intermediate Conversational Sign Language4 reviews Willard Madsen Gallaudet University Press, 1982 If you want to learn sign, buy this book This book is the best. If you have a basic knowledge of ASL and want to learn more than just the vocabulary, this is the best one I have seen             The Other Side of Silence: Sign Language and the Deaf Community in America5 reviews Arden Neisser Gallaudet University Press, 1990 Recomended This book gave a good insight into many of the issues of the Deaf Community. I enjoyed the many interviews with famous Deaf and hearing members of the Community. The book was not light or airy in content, but gave a good portion of facts in an easily understood manner. I recomend this book.             Signs of the Times4 reviews Edgar Shroyer Gallaudet University Press, 1982 Best sign language vocabulary book on the market! A very good book for reference for finding the best sign to use in a given situation as multiple signs are given for one English word. The book is ideal for students of Pidgen Sign English (aka PSE, CASE, or Siglish) and/or Manual Coded English (aka MCE or Sign English). The only limitation of this book is that it does NOT offer any explaination of American Sign Language (aka ASL) grammar ...              search for books advanced, america, american, beginner, community, comprehensive, conversational, creating, culture, designated, dictionary, english, gallaudet, grammar, handshape, hearing, intermediate, interpreters, introduction, language, learning, linguistics, paradigm, parents, professionals, resource, silence, starter, student, teacher books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
