"Disability, Discourse and Technology is useful for anyone interested in how to apply multimodal research and linguistics; and for activists and policy-makers. The methodology is complex yet clearly explained and helpful for a generalist audience. Also, this book would fascinate anyone interested in Muslim identity politics and non-western perspectives on disability and inclusion." (Sue Cranmer, Disability & Society, November, 2017)"The volume provides a valuable interdisciplinary exploration of the ways in which discourse can be used, specifically by individuals with disabilities, to challenge exclusion and to create inclusion and agency. . a fascinating and useful resource for disability scholars and activists, as well as others interested in understanding and advocating for issues of disability, identity and agency within complex nexus of communication." (MaryClinkenbeard, Discourse & Society, Vol. 28 (6), 2017)

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
