Accessible America A History of Disability and Design by Bess Williamson is an interesting look at the issue of accessibility as it relates to the built environment. It focuses on; the physical barriers that disabled people encounter every day, the political movements that sought to demolish these barriers; and the law that emerged as a result of their struggle. It is an informative, well written, introduction to the subject.
