Book
With candor and humor, Handler (performing, visual arts and communications, Dutchess Community College) describes the people and places he saw, touched, loved, and hated as he set out to discover himself, armed with a camera, a keen sense of the real, and Tourette's Syndrome (TS). He describes other people with extraordinary bodies and attitudes along the way, including a major league basketball player who integrates TS barks and grunts into his game, twins who tic in unison, and a community of Mennonites in which TS is rampant. He explores the lives of people whose TS is accompanied by obsessive-compulsive disorders, the sensationalism of the media, and his own work on a prizewinning PBS documentary. He includes appendices with information about TS and resources.--From Book News, Inc.
