It’s here: the latest edition of the one text you need to master assistive strategies, make confident clinical decisions, and help improve the quality of life for people with disabilities. Based on the Human Activity Assistive Technology (HAAT) model, Assistive Technologies: Principles and Practice, 4th Edition provides detailed coverage of the broad range of devices, services, and practices that comprise assistive technology, and focuses on the relationship between the human user and the assisted activity within specific contexts. Updated and expanded, this new edition features coverage of new ethical issues, more explicit applications of the HAAT model, and a variety of global issues highlighting technology applications and service delivery in developing countries. Human Activity Assistive Technology (HAAT) framework demonstrates assistive technology within common, everyday contexts for more relevant application. Focus on clinical application guides you in applying concepts to real-world situations. Review questions and chapter summaries in each chapter help you assess your understanding and identify areas where more study is needed. Content on the impact of AT on children and the role of AT in play and education for children with disabilities demonstrates how AT can be used for early intervention and to enhance development. Coverage of changing AT needs throughout the lifespan emphasizes how AT fits into people’s lives and contributes to their full participation in society. Principles and practice of assistive technology provides the foundation for effective decision-making. NEW! Global issues content broadens the focus of application beyond North America to include technology applications and service delivery in developing countries. NEW! Ethical issues and occupational justice content exposes you to vital information as you start interacting with clients. NEW! More case studies added throughout the text foster an understanding of how assistive technologies are used and how they function. NEW! Updated content reflects current technology and helps keep you current. NEW! Explicit applications of the HAAT model in each of the chapters on specific technologies and more emphasis on the interactions among the elements make content even easier to understand.

My research has been in the field of industrial organisation broadly defined. My first book, which grew out of my dissertation, was a study of the postwar American aluminum industry. Simultaneously, I worked with my fellow Harvard instructors on a book on the United States transportation industries.
This volume stressed the competition between industries — particularly that between truck and rail — and it was an early plea for deregulation of the United States transportation sector. It was an innovation at the time in its use of econometrics to study cost functions in transportation.
My next research efforts centred on understanding the process of weapons acquisition in the United States, a subject that had attracted little attention from economists. This work, with F. M. Scherer, led to an interest in what are now called the high-technology industries and the complexities of technical change.
I worked at the Rand Corporation with R. Nelson and E. Kalachek to examine technical change more generally and this research was reported in a Brookings book. My interests then shifted to national science and technology policy, and I wrote two chapters in Brookings volumes comparing science and technology policy in Britain and Japan with the policies and institutions in the United States. In the early 1970s, I began work with
Roger Noll and John McGowan on the United States television industry, which was changing rapidly with the advent of cable television.
The work, reported in still another Brookings volume, relied more than my previous research on econometric estimates of the demand for television programming. Recently I have returned to my first research efforts to examine how the rise in the price of energy has changed the world aluminum industry.
