  I read this book for my master's program. It was a great way to start off the program in Deaf and Hard of Hearing Education because this was everything that parents need to know if they have a child that fits those needs. I was able to learn from a parent's perspective. Which is great for a future DHH teacher.

  Here's an oddity. I used to have a GR friend named
  Mariah who posted a review of this book & said how much it helped her. A glance at the description (see below) showed that it didn't jive with the title, so I asked about it in the comments of her review.
  
  The next day, her review came up in my feed again, but my comment was gone, so I posted pretty much the same thing & it disappeared again. So I PM'd her asking what was up. Is there some sort of weird issue with the book or was there a problem with my asking about it?
  
  Now we're no longer friends. She blocked me & I have no idea why. Very weird. Below is the current book description. How does it relate to raising & educating a deaf child? Does anyone have a clue?
  
  Over the past twenty years considerable public attention has been focused on the decline of marine fisheries, the sustainability of world fish production, and the impacts of fishing on marine ecosystems. Many have voiced their concerns about marine conservation, as well as the sustainable and ethical consumption of fish. But are fisheries in danger of collapse? Will we soon need to find ways to replace this food system? Should we be worried that we could be fishing certain species to extinction? Can commercial fishing be carried out in a sustainable way? While overblown prognoses concerning the dire state of fisheries are plentiful, clear scientific explanations of the basic issues surrounding overfishing are less so - and there remains great confusion about the actual amount of overfishing and its ecological impact.
  
  Overfishing: What Everyone Needs to Know(R) will provide a balanced explanation of the broad issues associated with overfishing. Guiding readers through the scientific, political, economic, and ethical issues associated with harvesting fish from the ocean, it will provide answers to questions about which fisheries are sustainably managed and which are not. Ray and Ulrike Hilborn address topics including historical overfishing, high seas fisheries, recreational fisheries, illegal fishing, climate and fisheries, trawling, economic and biological overfishing, and marine protected areas. In order to illustrate the effects of each of these issues, they will incorporate case studies of different species of fish.
  
  Overall, the authors present a hopeful view of the future of fisheries. Most of the world's fisheries are not overfished, and many once overfished stocks are now rebuilding. In fact, we can learn from the management failures and successes to ensure that fisheries are sustainable and contribute to national wealth and food security. Concise and clear, this book presents a compelling "big picture" of the state of oceans and the solutions to ending overfishing.

  Great read. Provided some insight into issues with kids that are hard-of-hearing. Helpful.

  This book definitely leans towards the oral/audism perspective. As an interpreter with Deaf family members, some parts were hard to read through,but it was educational nonetheless.
