Considering the interrelationships between disability and housing design with a focus on the role of policy in addressing the housing needs of disabled people; this book sets out some of the broader debates about the nature of housing; quality and design. In what ways are domestic design and architecture implicated in inhibiting or facilitating mobility and movement of people? What is the nature of government regulation and policy in relation to the design of home environments? The author addresses these questions; and brings a range of approaches to accessible design in housing to the forefront of debate; assessing how far policies and practices are equal to the challenge of creating accessible and desirable home environments.

A great read for ... well; anyone!By JP. JohnsonThis book is a fantastically well written account of one of the worlds most ancient symbols. The author does an excellent job of keeping the tone light and easy to read; an area in which most historians fail miserably. I flew through the book as I pondered each turn in the symbols labyrinthine journey through history and found myself deep in the heart of a beautiful mystery. The author allows the reader to draw his or her own conclusions after leading them on a wonderful journey through time.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. More than meets the eyeBy PaulaFor the eclectic reader; the subject is thoroughly covered as to what; where; when and possibly why. This knowledge could enhance many otherwise humdrum classes. Teachers would delight their students by passing on the detailed tricks for drawing mazes.
