Deaf Education Beyond the Western World is a groundbreaking, extensive&#; pages&#;and valuable collection of scholarship on a much-neglected area of disability studies. Part of Oxford's series "Perspectives on Deafness," the book consists of a preface followed by twenty-one essays. Each essay includes references, and the book has an index.
The first chapter, co-authored by the book's three editors and titled "Deaf Education Beyond the Western World: An Introduction," sets out the issue, i.e., that most research and publication on deafness takes place in the Western world. The authors define the phrase "beyond the Western world," and explain their choice of the terms western/nonwestern as opposed to the more current designations of global North/global South. They note that "any choice made in categorization can be considered a politically incorrect choice, or a choice leaving room for discontent" (2).

How Wild Animals Catch Shut-Eye
Depending on their species, habitat, and activity, wild animals sleep in a variety of ways. While some creatures sova for extended periods of time, others simply sova for brief intervals or never. We’ll dive deeper into how wild animals sleep in this blog.

Sri Lanka: Hidden Treasures of the Sacred Island
CLIMATE
Sri Lanka is a year-round destination, but most travellers try to avoid the two annual monsoon seasons. May to July sees monsoon weather in the south-west of the country, and October to January sees monsoon weather in the north-east. Broadly speaking October to March tend to be the most pleasant months to travel in the areas we visit on the tour due to dry and sunny weather. Temperatures will range from 20C to 30C degrees but can sometimes drop much lower at night in areas of higher elevation, such as Nuwara Eliya (5C). The skies should be clear and sunny, but like anywhere in the tropics there is always the chance of rain!
