In a Different Key The Story of Autism - Zucker Caren, Donvan John

Książki & Multimedia > Książki

Opis - "A magnificent opus ...extraordinary, spellbinding ...this book does what no other on autism has done" Ann Bauer, Washington Post The stunning history of autism as it has been discovered and felt by parents, children and doctors Nearly seventy-five years ago, Donald Triplett of Forest, Mississippi became the first child diagnosed with autism. In a Different Key tells the extraordinary story of the world his diagnosis created - a riveting human drama that takes us across continents and through some of the great social movements of the twentieth century. The history of autism is, above all, the story of families fighting for a place in the world for their children. It is the story of women like Ruth Sullivan, who rebelled against a medical establishment that blamed "refrigerator mothers" for causing autism, of fathers who pushed scientists to dig harder for treatments, of parents who forced schools to accept their children. But many others played starring roles too: doctors like Leo Kanner, who pioneered our understanding of autism, scientists who sparred over how to treat autism, and those with autism, like Temple Grandin and Ari Ne"eman, who explained their inner worlds and championed a philosophy of "neurodiversity". This is also a story of fierce controversy: from the question of whether there is truly an autism "epidemic", and whether vaccines played a part in it, to scandals involving "facilitated communication?, one of many treatments that have proved to be blind alleys. And there are dark turns too: we learn about experimenters feeding LSD to children with autism, or shocking them with electricity to change their behaviour; and the authors reveal, for the first time, that Hans Asperger, discoverer of the syndrome named after him, may have cooperated with the Nazis in sending disabled children to their deaths. By turns intimate and panoramic, In a Different Key takes us on a journey from an era when families were shamed and children were condemned to institutions, to one in which parents and people with autism push not simply for inclusion, but for a new understanding of autism: as difference rather than disability.

Media and Globalization. Different Cultures, Societies, Political Systems - Ilona Biernacka - Ligięza

Książki & Multimedia > Książki

Opis - Media and globalization different cultures, societies, political systems, a publication edited by Ilona Biernacka-Ligięza, is a valuable read that is likely to be of interest to researchers and students exploring a variety of fields of study. The book addresses the most topical issues that are significant for the research on communication. The advancement of cable and satellite networks and, most of all, the Internet, has brought a substantial increase in the number of global communication users. And, as affirmed by Terry Flew, the author of Understanding Global Media, the special attention paid to global media today is not just a matter of global communication technologies, but, most importantly, it is related to the fact that global media are the key vehicles for symbolic and informative content allowing people to organise their world and their relationships with others. The book analyses various levels of the interrelationships between media policy and global politics. The authors of articles included in the publication recognise the significance of global media. It also encompasses issues related to language policy and contemporary identities. The book therefore discusses not only the basic concepts in the field of global communication, such as theories of global media, the relationships between the media and culture, and new media technologies, but also research findings analyses of content, patterns of behaviour among users.
