Download or read book The Pied Pipers of Autism written by Leonard Oestreicher and published by . This book was released on 2013-02-14 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Pied Pipers of Autism begins with a personal mystery. My nephew, Otto, turns out to have ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder), and I found myself wondering why. Is the cause of ASD 90% genetic, as many academic investigators believe, or has something else in the world surrounding our children changed? What could be causing the number of children acquiring this disorder go from 1 in 20,000 some 50 years ago to 1 in 70 or less today? This is the mystery of ASD, a mystery causing too much suffering in too many families around the world.My wife thought Otto liked the Baby Einstein video series too much when he was an infant. My hunch was there was a connection. From this hunch, The Pied Pipers of Autism was born almost three years ago and with it hopefully the solution to the mystery of ASD.The book begins with an exploration of the nature of ASD. This journey takes the reader all the way from social networks down to the level of the synapses in the brain. Along the way the reader will discover the relationships between ASD and gender, genetics, the brain, 3-D vision, twins with their private languages, Romanian orphans, Helen Keller, the descended larynx and much more. The book answers such questions as:How can you protect your infant from developing ASD? Clue: It has nothing to do with vaccines.Is one-way communication dangerous for some young children and infants? Has the study of genetics helped us understand ASD? Why our sons are up to 17 times more vulnerable to Asperger's (a milder form of ASD) than our daughters?Why twins and second sons are so susceptible to ASD?What should you look for in a program to help a child who already has ASD?And the big question in the end, why the lives of so many children like Otto are being affected by ASD, and why the prevalence of ASD is exploding throughout the world. The role of genetics is a part of the story of ASD but only a part. This book shows the increase in autism has been fueled by the invasion into the nursery of sources of one-way communication such as TV, videos, video devices and talking toys. The book shows it is these Pied Pipers of Autism, who have been enchanting our children away from normal social development and into the fearful social isolation of ASD.This well-illustrated book will hopefully get the attention of the soon-to-be parents, pediatricians or anyone who advises parents, and researchers in the autism field. It is aimed at people who care for infants and children and anyone whose life has been touched by a child with ASD. The Pied Pipers of Autism provides a new and badly needed understanding of Autism Spectrum Disorder.

Book excerpt: This publication is intended for the Elder's of any community, educators, the young and old. More specifically, those individuals who are presently encountering difficulty in their transformational process in making productive career decisions, as well as, those who have reached the final stage of adolescence, in their quest for psycho-social development. The greatest experience that an individual can have is being empowered with knowledge of self, i.e., cultural awareness, which emanates into self-pride and confidence in one's ability to achieve success in all of their endeavors in life. Culture becomes the vessel that propels the individual into action in a conscious state of existence. Once bought into this state of consciousness, one is enabled to make proactive decisions in their lives, no longer allowing the media, environmental conditions, and others to become enablers for them. Each chapter represents different phases of mentally transforming instructive messages, thus, initiating a new way of listening, contemplating and reacting to the conditions of the Pied Piper. The order and arrangement of this book is a governing line of thought, all of which corresponds to the Pharonic mentality. As one synthesis the information of each proceeding chapters it embark the reader on a journey of self-exploration. This book heightens the individual's ability to convert words of power, into inner strength and spiritual ascendancy. This book is not to be read like a novel, but explored chapter by chapter as a mean of grasping the intricate nature of the subject matter. Also, it is an excellent introductory examination of the various facets involved in the Pied Piper Effect and the impact that music has on society as a whole. As my Grandmother use to say, "If You Dance To The Music, You Have To Pay The Piper."

Download or read book The Cultural Cold War written by Frances Stonor Saunders and published by New Press, The. This book was released on 2013-11-05 with total page 458 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the Cold War, freedom of expression was vaunted as liberal democracy’s most cherished possession—but such freedom was put in service of a hidden agenda. In The Cultural Cold War, Frances Stonor Saunders reveals the extraordinary efforts of a secret campaign in which some of the most vocal exponents of intellectual freedom in the West were working for or subsidized by the CIA—whether they knew it or not. Called "the most comprehensive account yet of the [CIA’s] activities between 1947 and 1967" by the New York Times, the book presents shocking evidence of the CIA’s undercover program of cultural interventions in Western Europe and at home, drawing together declassified documents and exclusive interviews to expose the CIA’s astonishing campaign to deploy the likes of Hannah Arendt, Isaiah Berlin, Leonard Bernstein, Robert Lowell, George Orwell, and Jackson Pollock as weapons in the Cold War. Translated into ten languages, this classic work—now with a new preface by the author—is "a real contribution to popular understanding of the postwar period" (The Wall Street Journal), and its story of covert cultural efforts to win hearts and minds continues to be relevant today.
