American Sign Language: Shattering the Myth, Essays by Larry G Stewart, Frances M Parsons, Otto J Menzel, Donald F Moores, Patrick W Seamans, Truman W Stelle.

The reader also can take comfort in the fact that many of the contributing authors are Deaf themselves. They are not only speaking from the viewpoint of empirical research, but also from their own personal experiences. Personal accounts that go against the traditional ASL mindset are also given, serving as a reminder that no political faction in the Deaf world has the right answer to the education of each and every Deaf child.

With that in mind, Bertling's book is a very highly reccomended read for anyone who is interested in Deafness and the Deaf world. ASL: Shattering the Myth provides a (needed) balance to a very disproportionate war of propagandists.
