Her deeply thought-provoking and compassionate work exposes the breadth and depth of that context--the extent of the social frame upon which we construct the \"normal.\" In doing so, the book calls into question assumptions about anatomy and normality, and transforms our understanding of how we are all intricately and inextricably joined.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alice Domurat Dreger\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0674018257\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780674018259\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Harvard University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.52lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.86h x 5.12w x 0.58d","brand":"Alice Domurat Dreger","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44120020386047,"sku":"9780674018259","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_960ec7a2-7661-4ae1-8474-3e0a16ded00e.jpg?v=1687412128","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/one-of-us-alice-domurat-dreger-9780674018259","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
