"Sonal „autism” on ka praegusel ajal paljude inimeste jaoks kohutav tahendus: silme ette tulevad konetud, stereotuupidega, karjuvad, kontaktivoimetud lapsed, ning enamik inimesi ei motle selle peale, milline saab olema nende laste tulevik. Samuti ei tea me veel siiani piisavalt pohjalikult autismispektri hairete pohjuste kohta.Selle raamatu autor Temple Grandin on ise autistlik inimene, kes on oma norkusi ja tugevusi tundma oppinud, nii et ta on elus hasti hakkama saanud: leidnud too, lopetanud ulikooli, saanud teadlaseks, ning ta on uurinud kogu elu autismi olemust ja pohjusi.Ta jagab selles raamatus soovitusi, kuidas keskenduda autismispektri hairetega laste tugevustele, kuidas toetada nende arengut, haridusteed ja kuidas leida neile toovoimalusi. Tema kogemuste kirjeldused ja mitmekesised soovitused on vaga vaartuslikud koikidele autistlike laste vanematele, aga ka koigile spetsialistidele, kes tootavad nende lastega. Arvestades koiki neid selle raamatu teemakasitlusi, saaks ka meie haridussusteem pakkuda autismispektri hairega lastele just neile sobivaimat oppimisvoimalust.Autorite nouanded selle kohta, kuidas aidata autistlikel lastel elus toime tulla, on sedavord elulised ja realistlikud, et need voiks juhendmaterjalina kaasa anda koikidele vanematele, kui nende laps saab autismispektri hairete diagnoosi.Mida rohkem me saame teada autistliku aju eriparadest ja sellest, kuidas kaasaegseid uuringuid ara kasutada, seda paremini suudame me leida nendele lastele paremaid voimalusi toimetulekuks. Temple Grandin on vaga hea eeskuju koikidele autismispektri hairega inimestele – tema elukaik naitab, mida on voimalik saavutada suure too ja realistliku lahenemisega. Me koik ju soovime autismispektri hairega lastele just samalaadset tulevikku – iseseisvat toimetulekut ja taisvaartuslikku elu – ning see raamat aitab meil selle poole puuelda.

Hope for American democracy in an era of deep divisions In Healing the Heart of Democracy, Parker J. Palmer quickens our instinct to seek the common good and gives us the tools to do it. This timely, courageous and practical work—intensely personal as well as political—is not about them, «those people» in Washington D.C., or in our state capitals, on whom we blame our political problems. It's about us, «We the People,» and what we can do in everyday settings like families, neighborhoods, classrooms, congregations and workplaces to resist divide-and-conquer politics and restore a government «of the people, by the people, for the people.» In the same compelling, inspiring prose that has made him a bestselling author, Palmer explores five «habits of the heart» that can help us restore democracy's foundations as we nurture them in ourselves and each other: An understanding that we are all in this together An appreciation of the value of «otherness» An ability to hold tension in life-giving ways A sense of personal voice and agency A capacity to create community Healing the Heart of Democracy is an eloquent and empowering call for «We the People» to reclaim our democracy. The online journal Democracy & Education called it «one of the most important books of the early 21st Century.» And Publishers Weekly, in a Starred Review, said «This beautifully written book deserves a wide audience that will benefit from discussing it.»
