Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Life isn't fair. We do our best; we will fail and find pain along the way, but we will never give up. A Brick Wall is a story of how a little boy's diagnosis set his parents on a journey seeking answers and changes to the world he lives in. This honest account takes us through their approach in raising their three children, two of whom were diagnosed with autism. The Gallaghers crafted their parenting skills, retained their patience, and met their challenges with love, determination, and fierceness. Believing a cluster of children with autism lived in their hometown, the Gallagher's journey led them to their congressman's office. Alongside Congressman Chris Smith, their efforts led to national legislation, and awareness of the disability. As the reader follows their story, through tragedy of illness, and battles with an unfair system, they will become attached to the Gallagher family, and cheer them on in hopes of a victory. This is not a fairy tale of how autism was defeated, or any miraculous breakthrough. Discover a very personal account of how a family coped from diagnosis to adulthood, through tragedy of illness and their battle with an unfair system. A Brick Wall is a story of how a family has learned that each and every life has value, and you never truly know the part you have played in making the world a better place. Through many of the struggles and often unfair cards dealt, the Gallagher's have persevered to ensure that their children have happy lives, regardless of the severity of their autism. Bobbie and Bill Gallagher's journey led them to their congressman's office. Believing a cluster of children with autism lived in their hometown. With Congressman Chris Smith, their efforts led to national legislation and awareness of the disability. That was just the beginning of the Gallaghers' fight for the treatment and understanding they knew their children deserved. At the core this book is a love story, a love story of a remarkable family set upon the battlefield of a system that was trying to destroy them. This book allows us an intimate insiders view of the Gallagher's epic fight to give their children a life worth living. Their struggles and triumph has impacted the entire Autism community. This simply is a must read for every parent, for every educator and everyone with a heart. What an incredible book, what an incredible journey! ~ Gary Weitzen, Executive Director, POAC Autism Services Written in an intimate, honest, and compassionate way, the Gallagher family's story is captivating, filled with the painful realities and hard-won joys of life with severe autism. As we witness Alanna and Austin's daily and lifelong challenges, I stand in awe of them and their parents' determination and resilience. Much like the untold stories of so many families, this must-read book is both heartbreaking and inspiring! ~ Suzanne Buchanan, Psy.D., BCBA-D, Autism New Jersey From the first sentence Gallagher draws you into the often difficult yet rewarding world of raising two children on the autism spectrum, and she does so with grace, humor, and candor. Her writing spans two decades, taking readers from the early days of diagnosis to how she is creating fulfilling lives for both of her adult children. Amidst the challenges and celebrations outlined in this book she offers hope to parents; it is a must-read for anyone raising an autistic child." ~ Kimberlee Rutan McCafferty, author of Raising Autism: Surviving the Early Years
Download or read book Walls written by David Frye and published by Scribner. This book was released on 2019-08-27 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A lively popular history of an oft-overlooked element in the development of human society” (Library Journal)—walls—and a haunting and eye-opening saga that reveals a startling link between what we build and how we live. With esteemed historian David Frye as our raconteur-guide in Walls, which Publishers Weekly praises as “informative, relevant, and thought-provoking,” we journey back to a time before barriers of brick and stone even existed—to an era in which nomadic tribes vied for scarce resources, and each man was bred to a life of struggle. Ultimately, those same men would create edifices of mud, brick, and stone, and with them effectively divide humanity: on one side were those the walls protected; on the other, those the walls kept out. The stars of this narrative are the walls themselves—rising up in places as ancient and exotic as Mesopotamia, Babylon, Greece, China, Rome, Mongolia, Afghanistan, the lower Mississippi, and even Central America. As we journey across time and place, we discover a hidden, thousand-mile-long wall in Asia's steppes; learn of bizarre Spartan rituals; watch Mongol chieftains lead their miles-long hordes; witness the epic siege of Constantinople; chill at the fate of French explorers; marvel at the folly of the Maginot Line; tense at the gathering crisis in Cold War Berlin; gape at Hollywood’s gated royalty; and contemplate the wall mania of our own era. Hailed by Kirkus Reviews as “provocative, well-written, and—with walls rising everywhere on the planet—timely,” Walls gradually reveals the startling ways that barriers have affected our psyches. The questions this book summons are both intriguing and profound: Did walls make civilization possible? And can we live without them? Find out in this masterpiece of historical recovery and preeminent storytelling.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “No human relationship is without betrayal, irritation and annoyance, but Kushner makes clear that it’s what we do about such obstacles that matter” (Los Angeles Times Book Review) in this best-selling guide to being your best self, even when things don’t turn out as you’d hoped. The beloved author of When Bad Things Happen to Good People, Rabbi Harold S. Kushner here turns to the experience of Moses to find the requisite lessons of strength and faith—the lessons that teach us how to overcome the disappointments that life inherently brings. We can learn how to meet all disappointments with faith in ourselves and the future, and how to respond to heartbreak—how to weather the disillusionment of dreams unfulfilled, the pain of a lost job, divorce or abandonment, illness, and more—with understanding rather than bitterness and despair. With Kushner’s signature warmth, Overcoming Life’s Disappointments is a book of spiritual wisdom—as practical as it is inspiring.

Book Synopsis Talking to Brick Walls by : Jacques Lacan
Download or read book Talking to Brick Walls written by Jacques Lacan and published by Polity. This book was released on 2017-10-23 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'I've been talking to brick walls' says Lacan, meaning: 'Neither to you, nor to the Big Other. I'm speaking by myself. And this is precisely what interests you. It's up to you to interpret me.' These brick walls are those of the chapel at Sainte-Anne hospital. Getting back in touch with his younger years as a junior doctor, Lacan amuses himself, improvises, and lets himself go. The intention is a polemical one: the best of his pupils, captivated by the idea that analysis evacuates all prior knowledge, have been raising the banner of non-knowledge, borrowed from Bataille. No, says Lacan, psychoanalysis proceeds from a supposed knowledge, that of the unconscious. One gains access to it by the path of truth (the analysand ventures to say what comes to mind, frankly and with no frills) when it comes to an end in jouissance (the analyst interprets what the analysand says in terms of libido). However, two further paths bar access to this one: ignorance (to devote oneself to it with passion is always to consolidate established knowledge), and power (the passion for might obliterates what is revealed by parapraxes). Psychoanalysis teaches the virtues of powerlessness: this, at least, respects the real. A wise lesson for an era, this era of ours, that has seen bureaucracy, arm in arm with science, dreaming of changing humankind in its deepest reaches - through propaganda, through direct manipulation of the brain, through biotechnology, and even through social engineering. Admittedly things were no better before, but tomorrow they could be far worse. Jacques-Alain Miller
