Missing Pieces

The personal odyssey of a man with a disability, Irving Zola tells--and analyzes--what it is like to have a disability in a world that values vigor and health. First published in 1981, a founding book in the fields of health and disability studies, Missing Pieces is a modern classic on the personal and cultural trials and triumphs of the disabled. This edition has a new foreword by acclaimed essayist Nancy Mairs.
