Virtual Library on Physical Disabilities
Disabled Village Children - This book has over 600 pages on everything from making your own crutches to sex.
Nothing About Us Without Us - on developing technologies for people with physical disabilities, this book is mostly focused on people with physical disabilities in places like villages in Mexico. A lot of what is discussed here, though, like how we think about disabilities, should be of interest to anyone. For example, the first chapter, on designing seating is called, "A child is not a sack of potatoes".
