It's society's gain. It's the right thing to do. So, hooray for eQuality! And hooray for Peter Blanck's high achievement in the publication of this pathbreaking book.' David Braddock, Professor and Director of the Coleman Institute for Cognitive Disabilities, University of Colorado 'The twenty-fifth anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act is a fitting time for Professor Blanck to break wide open new territory in the civil rights struggle of persons with cognitive disabilities. eQuality is a must-read that will prove essential to scholars and practitioners concerned about Web-content equality for all people.' Michael Waterstone, Associate Dean and Professor of Law, Loyola Law School '[A] groundbreaking achievement! In eQuality, Peter Blanck sets the stage for future advocacy of equal access to the information society.' Jutta Treviranus, Professor of Design and Director of the Inclusive Design Research Centre, OCAD University, Ontario 'Jefferson wrote that freedom has to be secured from one generation to the next. The Web allows this and future generations of persons with disabilities opportunities to open up worlds that were previously locked away. eQuality unlocks this potential and secures freedom into the twenty-first century - a virtual civic republic.'
