Praise for What Can a Body Do?:&ldquo;What Can a Body Do? models its subject. It has well-made sentences and an elegant structure. . . . But Hendren&rsquo;s project also has a kind of deep beauty that is neither separable from design nor fully accountable to it. Some molecular-level harmony obtains when writing seems so committed to being both interesting and humane. . . . Hendren&rsquo;s humanism shines&hellip;. As [she] writes, disability &lsquo;reveals just how unfinished the world really is.&rsquo; Her gift, perhaps, is to see that as an invitation.&rdquo; &mdash;The New Yorker&ldquo;In prose infused with tenderness, Hendren tosses away the idea that disability is a problem to be solved and instead shows how humans&rsquo; adaptation to the built environment is a wonder to&#160;behold.&rdquo; &mdash;NPR&ldquo;For Hendren, disability is not a problem to be solved or a flaw to be cured: diverse bodies generate alternative understandings of the built world and should encourage us to question what we accept as &lsquo;standard.&rsquo;&rdquo;&mdash;The Baffler&ldquo;Few books are capable of making you see the world in a fundamentally new way and this is one of them.&rdquo;  &mdash;National Association of Science Writers&ldquo;Hendren illustrates a powerful idea that holds potential for the fields of urbanism, architecture, and design. . . . [the] book ripples with a sense of generative possibility around how these unique perspectives help us see the world in a different way and emancipate new ways of living together.&rdquo; &mdash;Public Books&ldquo;Sara Hendren&rsquo;s graceful, generous book invites us to create a more accessible, humane world of coexistence that thoughtfully meets bodies where they are.&rdquo; &mdash;LitHub&ldquo;Hendren shows that the purpose of accessible design should not be to fix a body, but rather to meet the body where it is. . . .&#160;Fascinating.&rdquo; &mdash;BookPage&ldquo;Hendren sees the world as it might flex and bend. . . .&#160;With intimacy, curiosity, and a bright sense of possibility, [she]&#160;investigates . . . the ways our diverse bodies interact with the world around us.&rdquo;&#160;&mdash;Kirkus Reviews (starred review)&ldquo;The questions [Hendren] asks. . . spark a contagious curiosity. . . . It&rsquo;s hard not to look up and see your surroundings in a different light.&rdquo; &mdash;Humanities&ldquo;Hendren makes us aware of the many ways we inhabit&mdash;and could inhabit&mdash;ourselves and the material world, including the difficult question of what &lsquo;the good life&rsquo; really is. Nothing will look the same after reading this.&rdquo; &mdash;Jenny Odell, author of How to Do Nothing&ldquo;This book illuminates both the daunting specificity and the inspiring universality of what most fundamentally shapes and challenges the work of design: our own bodies. Hendren forever reimagines the way we engage the built environment.&rdquo; &mdash;Michael Bierut, partner, Pentagram &ldquo;Hendren&rsquo;s powerful, imaginative stories open up new mental and physical worlds for all of us, allowing us to renew our relationship to time, technology, and one another.&rdquo;&#160;&mdash;Anne-Marie Slaughter,&#160;author of Unfinished Business and The Chessboard and the Web&ldquo;Spare, elegant, and charismatic, this book is a call to carry out our ethical commitment to justice and access; it's packed with stories and ideas that show us the way.&rdquo;&#160;&mdash;Rosemarie Garland-Thomson, author of Extraordinary Bodies &ldquo;I love Sara Hendren's mind. What Can A Body Do? opened my eyes to how thinking about disability can provide us all creative opportunities to make a better world for everyone.&rdquo;&#160;&mdash; Austin Kleon, author of Steal Like an Artist&ldquo;A poetic, pragmatic, and powerful invitation to unmake and remake the world for every body. This book is transformative!&rdquo; &mdash;Ruha Benjamin, author of Race After Technology &ldquo;Thoughtful and compelling. Hendren makes a very strong case for taking into account humanity in all its irregularities when remaking the world.&rdquo; &mdash;Henry Petroski, author of To Engineer Is Human &ldquo;In her beautiful and brilliant What Can a Body Do, Sara Hendren helps us begin to imagine and enact a better world for human flourishing. If you are human, you need to read this book.&rdquo;&mdash;Cathy N. Davidson,&#160;author of The New Education&ldquo;An urgent work, told with compassion and authority. There is room for us all in this essential book.&rdquo;&#160;&mdash;Joanne McNeil, author of Lurking
