While recent years have seen an improvement, learning-disabled people are still treated as fundamentally different.    Beautiful Lives is a personal and pragmatic account, told through the eyes of a father whose son has severe learning disabilities. From early civilisation to the chilling realities of twentieth-century eugenics, this powerful book uncovers a startling and rarely told history - one deeply embedded in the challenges still faced today.     Unwin shapes this history into a powerful story of love, lived experience and the long struggle for a better future.","brand":"Book Grocer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48843710562458,"sku":"9781035424733","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0558\/1625\/7690\/files\/9781035424733-us-300.jpg?v=1785200288","url":"https:\/\/castlebooks.com.au\/products\/9781035424733-beautiful-lives-how-we-got-learning-disabilities-so-wrong-the-startling-and-rarely-told-history-of-learning-disabilities","provider":"Castlebooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
