Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The First Volume in the "Gallaudet Classics in Deaf Studies Series", Albert Ballin's greatest ambition was that The Deaf Mute Howls would transform education for deaf children and more, the relations between deaf and hearing people everywhere. While his primary concern was to improve the lot of the deaf person "shunned and isolated as a useless member of society," his ambitions were larger yet. He sought to make sign language universally known among both hearing and deaf. He believed that would be the great "Remedy," as he called it, for the ills that afflicted deaf people in the world, and would vastly enrich the lives of hearing people as well."--The Introduction by Douglas Baynton, author, Forbidden Signs. Originally published in 1930, The Deaf Mute Howls flew in the face of the accepted practice of teaching deaf children to speak and read lips while prohibiting the use of sign language. The sharp observations in Albert Ballin's remarkable book detail his experiences (and those of others) at a late 19th-century residential school for deaf students and his frustrations as an adult seeking acceptance in the majority hearing society. The Deaf Mute Howls charts the ambiguous attitudes of deaf people toward themselves at this time. Ballin himself makes matter-of-fact use of terms now considered disparaging, such as "deaf-mute," and he frequently rues the "atrophying" of the parts of his brain necessary for language acquisition. At the same time, he rails against the loss of opportunity for deaf people, and he commandingly shifts the burden of blame to hearing people unwilling to learn the "Universal Sign Language," his solution to the communication problems of society. From his lively encounters with Alexander Graham Bell (whose desire to close residential schools he surprisingly supports), to his enthrallment with the film industry, Ballin's highly readable book offers an appealing look at the deaf world during his richly colored lifetime. Albert Ballin, born in 1867, attended a residential school for the deaf until he was sixteen. Thereafter, he worked as a fine artist, a lithographer, and also as an actor in silent-era films. He died in 1933

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Adventures of a Deaf-Mute, Deaf New Englander William B. Swett recounts his adventures in the White Mountains of New Hampshire in the late 1860s. Given to us in short, energetic episodes, Swett tells daring stories of narrow escapes from death and other perilous experiences during his time as a handyman and guide at the Profile House, a hotel named for the nearby Old Man of the Mountain rock formation. A popular destination, the hotel attracted myriad guests, and Swett's tales of rugged endurance are accompanied by keen observations of the people he meets. Confident in his identity as a Deaf "mute," he notes with wry humor the varied perceptions of deafness that he encounters. As a signing Deaf person from a prominent multigenerational Deaf family, he counters negative stereotypes with generosity and a smart wit. He takes pride in his physical abilities, which he showcases through various stunts and arduous treks in the wilderness. However, Swett's writing also reveals a deep awareness of the fragility and precariousness of life. This is a portrait of a man testing his physical and emotional limits, written from the vantage point of someone who is no longer a young man but is still very much in the prime of his life. This collection also includes "Mr. Swett and His Diorama," an article from 1859 in which Swett describes his miniature recreation of the Battle of Lexington, as well as Manual Alphabets, a pamphlet published in 1875 on the history of manual alphabets that includes short biographies of Thomas Hopkins Gallaudet and Laurent Clerc, two pioneers of Deaf education in the United States. The work is accompanied by a new introduction that offers a reflection on Swett's life and the time in which he lived.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Adventures of a Deaf-Mute: The Old Man of the Mountain Many persons who visited the White Mountains of New Hampshire, and particularly the Profile House, in 1866, and later years, will readily recognize the hero of these adventures, and the incidents connected therewith, and will doubtless hear testimony to their truth. The measuring of "The old Stone Face," and the placing of the images of the "Panther" and the "Indian" upon Eagle Cliff, will be remembered as hazardous adventures successfully accomplished, and Mr. William B. Swett has the honor of their achievement. Born at Henniker, N. H., in 1824, with the full use of all his senses, but losing his hearing while yet a lad, he was sent to the Institution for the Deaf and Dumb at Hartford, Conn., and after completing the usual course of studies there, returned to his home, and for awhile pursued the calling of his father, - that of a carpenter and joiner. His capacity as a ready and faithful workman procured him permanent work at the Mountains, where his restless and adventurous spirit brought him into many awkward and dangerous positions, from which, however, he always emerged right-side up. A ready thinker, and fluent in the use of the sign language, his talents have brought him, of late, into other pursuits, having in view the welfare and improvement of his fellow-unfortunates. Prominent in all such movements, he became interested in several societies of Deaf-Mutes, among which are the Boston Deaf-Mutes' Library Association, and the Boston Deaf-Mute Mission. This volume is published and the profits will be devoted to the purposes of the "Mission," whose object is to provide for the religious welfare of Deaf-Mutes. With this "Mission" Mr. Swett is now more particularly identified, and issues this narrative of his Adventures in the hope that a large sum may inure to the benefit of this much-needed and now prosperous enterprise. All purchasers will therefore understand that they are aiding directly in the promotion of the highest interests of Deaf-Mutes.

This book was released on 2023-09-13 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The world is approaching a point where big data will start to play a beneficial role in many industries and organizations. Today, analyzing data for new insights has become an everyday norm, increasing the need for data analysts to use efficient and appropriate tools to provide quick and valuable results to clients. Existing research in the field currently lacks a full coverage of all essential algorithms, leaving a knowledge void for practical implementation and code in Python with all needed libraries and links to datasets used. Advanced Interdisciplinary Applications of Machine Learning Python Libraries for Data Science serves as a one-stop book to help emerging data scientists gain hands-on skills needed through real-world data and completely up-to-date Python code. It covers all the technical details, from installing the needed software to importing libraries and using the latest data sets; deciding on the right model; training, testing, and evaluating the model; and including NumPy, Pandas, and matplotlib. With coverage on various machine learning algorithms like regression, linear and logical regression, classification, support vector machine (SVM), clustering, k-nearest neighbor, market basket analysis, Apriori, k-means clustering, and visualization using Seaborne, it is designed for academic researchers, undergraduate students, postgraduate students, executive education program leaders, and practitioners.
