Download or read book The War Within written by Tom Wells and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2016-02-02 with total page 999 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The War Within: America’s Battle over Vietnam is a painfully engrossing and popularly written account of how the battle on the home front ended America’s least popular war. This absorbing narrative, hailed by critics of every persuasion, is the fruit of over a decade’s worth of research: the author sifted through mountains of government documents, press coverage, and transcripts of interviews he conducted with virtually all of the key players, both inside the U.S. government and among the dissenters who eventually brought the war to an end. In these pages the antiwar era comes to life through the words of scores of participants, both the famous and the forgotten, who speak with candor and passion about this tumultuous period. A remarkable story of a powerful grassroots movement and its influence on officials in Washington.

Book Synopsis I'm Dyslexic - It's a great way to be - with God Gametes Q&A by : Robert Jameson
Download or read book I'm Dyslexic - It's a great way to be - with God Gametes Q&A written by Robert Jameson and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2013-12-03 with total page 117 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No doubt there are people with mild dyslexia who can be taught to read and spell. Unfortunately there are others, myself included, who will never have adequate literacy skills. I still get told; "If I really tried to learn to read I could do it!" That makes me really mad. I have completed graduate and post graduate university courses and have four books with a total of 300,000 words in print. And I still cannot read or spell adequately without the aid of a computer. I hear people saying they 'were' dyslexic, that they found this or that remedy and the problem was fixed. That is fine for them but I will take my dyslexia to the grave. Thankfully though, text-to-speech technology came along in time for me. It has made it possible for me to research and write my books and to cope with life in a world dominated by the printed word.

Book excerpt: For aspiring journalists, the challenges of dyslexia can seem insurmountable, especially in the face of an educational system that is ill-equipped to help.

This book profiles famous broadcast journalists who overcame the long-overlooked, often misdiagnosed learning disability, dyslexia, to succeed at the highest level. Among them are Emmy Award winners, including CNN's Anderson Cooper and Robyn Curnow, NBC's Richard Engel, and ABC's Byron Pitts. For students and practicing journalists, it is a resource to learn more about dyslexia and how best to approach covering "the invisible disability." Each of the journalists profiled offer advice into the best practices in researching, interviewing, writing, and presenting issues related to dyslexia.
Book Synopsis How to End the Reading War and Serve the Literacy Needs of All Students by : P. L. Thomas
Download or read book How to End the Reading War and Serve the Literacy Needs of All Students written by P. L. Thomas and published by IAP. This book was released on 2022-08-01 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The twenty-first century Reading War is, in fact, nothing new, but some of the details are unique to our current culture driven by social media. This volume seeks to examine the current Reading War in the context of the historical recurrence of public and political debates around student reading abilities and achievement. Grounded in a media fascination with the “science of reading” and fueled by a rise in advocates for students with dyslexia, the current Reading War has resulted in some deeply troubling reading policy, grade retention and intensive phonics programs. This primer for parents, policy makers, and people who care confronts some of the most compelling but misunderstood aspects of teaching reading in the U.S. while also offering a way toward ending the Reading War in order to serve all students, regardless of their needs. The revised/expanded 2nd edition adds developments around the “science of reading,” including the expanding impact on state policy and legislation as well as robust additions to the research base around teaching students to read.
Book Synopsis Whose Knowledge Counts in Government Literacy Policies? by : Kenneth S. Goodman
Download or read book Whose Knowledge Counts in Government Literacy Policies? written by Kenneth S. Goodman and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-10-01 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Accountability, in the form of standardized test scores, is built into many government literacy policies, with severe consequences for schools and districts that fail to meet ever-increasing performance levels. The key question this book addresses is whose knowledge is considered in framing government literacy policies? The intent is to raise awareness of the degree to which expertise is being ignored on a worldwide level and pseudo-science is becoming the basis for literacy policies and laws. The authors, all leading researchers from the U.S., U.K., Scotland, France, and Germany, have a wide range of views but share in common a deep concern about the lack of respect for knowledge among policy makers. Each author comes to the common subject of this volume from the vantage point of his or her major interests, ranging from an exposition of what should be the best knowledge utilized in an aspect of literacy education policy, to how political decisions are impacting literacy policy, to laying out the history of events in their own country. Collectively they offer a critical analysis of the condition of literacy education past and present and suggest alternative courses of action for the future.
Book Synopsis A Dyslexic’s Battle by : Adrian John Caro
Download or read book A Dyslexic’s Battle written by Adrian John Caro and published by Austin Macauley Publishers. This book was released on 2024-03-28 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I am now over 80 and a working silversmith. I tell the story of my early life at the end of the Second World War and its aftermath of shortages and rationing. I continue with the great difficulty I had with reading and writing leading to my disastrous failures at school and my first employment as a scientific assistant in the nuclear industry. During my first job my life changed in two major ways while working for the Atomic Energy Research Establishment. Their very forward-looking attitude to further education allowed me to add more ‘O’ levels, including the very important English, but as importantly, during that time I got married and before long had a daughter as well. I then decided to make the leap and try to obtain a medical degree but with only very basic ‘O’ levels I would first have to gain higher qualifications. I left full time employment for a Technical College in an attempt to add the three ‘A’ levels required for admission to Medical School but this was of course complicated by having wife and young daughter. To support us during this time I worked as a toolmaker, chauffeur, gardener and eventually trained as a London Ambulance driver. This very tortuous journey eventually gained me a place at Guy’s Hospital Medical School. I continue the tale with a number of vignettes of life at Guy’s Hospital as a medical student and the many unusual ways I increased my income during my studentship. I cover the time spent after qualification as a houseman in other hospitals. I finish with life as a General Practitioner and in Medical Research where I gained a PhD. I found that the higher up the academic tree I climbed the less my dyslexia, which I discovered I had when a medical student, impinged on my work and life. As an aside I hope that any youngsters with dyslexia reading this account will take heart that being dyslexic is not the end of the world.

Book excerpt: This volume provides a general overview of the history of the relatively common learning disability known as dyslexia, and explores it from a cognitive and neurological point of view. It also offers insights into the phenomena of creativity, and outlines a theory that links dyslexia to the creative process. The book illustrates these ideas with overviews of the lives of five well-known Americans recognized for their creative pursuits; artists Robert Rauschenberg, Chuck Close, and Charles Ray, and writers John Irving and Wendy Wasserstein. All five faced the struggles that accompany dyslexia, and recognized the positive traits afforded by their learning differences, harnessing them to further their creative processes.
