Rezensionen

It adds great value to living with a disability in America today. -- John Kemp, winner of the prestigious Betts Award for leadership in disability Verille provides an excellent account of the confluences that brought rehabilitation medicine into the forefront during the last century, and of the specialty's relevance to the 21st century...
