Between the Tides

Год издания: 0000
Featuring hundreds of original, color photographs, this fascinating study of New Guinea chronicles the rituals and daily life of this remote and culturally rich region.Between the Tides offers a compelling mix of New Guinean storytelling, history, natural history, politics, and culture. David Pickell brings warmth and intelligence to his subject, and Kal Muller's photographs are surprising and evocative. Together, author and photographer show how an isolated, nomadic past meets a worldly, urban future, history confronts superstition, and a false and imposed sense of shame yields to a new, and still fragile, pride.Their journey took them from the dusty New Guinea frontier town of Timika to tiny Lakahia island, along two hundred miles of twisting mangrove creeks and the relentlessly uncooperative Arafura sea. What they found was a culture facing the delicate, sometimes humorous, occasionally painful, and always interesting process of change.

Autism. Diagnoosimise alused ja suhtumine autistidesse
Автор: Temple Grandin & Richard Panek
Год издания:
"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.
