The No Barriers series profiles nearly 100 individuals with disabilities who found success in all kinds of professions and pursuits. These include people from history and the present, and from countries around the world. Each title features a diverse selection of 12 men and women, focusing on their challenges and contributions as adventurers, artists, athletes, business leaders, entertainers, members of the media, politicians, and scientists. Born without arms, Jessica Cox became a licensed pilot. Paralyzed from the chest down, Geoff Holt sailed solo across the Atlantic. Arunima Sinha climbed Mount Everest with an artificial leg, crawling part of the way. This book spotlights 12 adventurers from around the world who performed amazing feats despite their disabilities. Each chapter includes attentiongrabbing photos and fascinating facts. Sidebars go beyond the basics, and prompts invite readers to think for themselves. A Learn More page zooms in on the topic of assistive technology.
