Book excerpt: "Unlimited Visibility: A History of the Washington State School for the Blind" is much more than a dry listing of names and dates. We try, through archived materials and remembrances of alumni, teachers and friends, to put a human face to the issue of preparing the blind and visually impaired for life in the "real world." Along the way we meet inspiring folks such as Robert Irwin, the first graduate of what was then the "School for Defective Youth," who worked his way through college hawking cigars and went on to become a national and world leader in the education of the blind. Or Christy Gilbrough, a deaf and blind student who hasn't let her limitations keep her from holding down a job and pursuing learning even at the age of 66. And then there's the fellow who stranded a donkey on the roof of a school building in retaliation for being called a jackass by the superintendent.We believe this book to be relevant to more than the estimated 3 million blind and visually impaired people in the U.S. The hard lessons learned in providing proper preparation for the blind can be used to enrich the lives of all our country's students.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of the Washington State School for the Blind The casual visitor to the Washington State School for the Blind carries away with him a vivid picture - a picture of six solid brick buildings set closely together, overlooking the beautiful Columbia River valley, with its orchards, dairies and city lights; of smiling boys and girls, strolling arm-in-arm on the walks that parallels the front of the buildings, vying with one another on spacious lawns, play ing football, wrestling, flying kites or roller skating; of scholastic. Activity with children rushing about with slates in their hands and Braille books under their arms; and over all, the strains of various musical instruments - piano, violin, cello, pipe organ, clarinet - blended in sweet discord. The visitor, if he be of an inquiring mind, may ask what lies behind the happy, bustling life of this institution that releases almost daily souls imprisoned by physical darkness and gives to them wings of freedom to soar to personal triumphs. What is its history? And should he care to delve into records of the school to learn this, he will find his efforts of little avail, for nothing heretofore has ever been written on the history of the education of the blind in the State of Washington, except a few scattered and unrelated facts. That this story may be reconstructed to its fullest detail is the purpose of this study. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Risky reading So how many family gatherings have been ruined by someone bringing up a particularly touchy subject and obnoxiously pressing it until relatives and friends either fled or committed assault and battery? How many Thanksgiving dinners have been spoiled by ugly political conversations or graphic descriptions of various medical problems? Well, Facebook is a lot like those family gatherings, except with a whole bunch of strangers invited. On Facebook, so-called friends do battle every day over all kinds of controversial issues, and things get so out of hand that often the most dreaded penalty imaginable in society today is imposed: “un-friending.” Such a fate befell retired newspaper editor Dan Tolva, whose conservative political bent got him detached from the page of a beloved but passionately liberal granddaughter. As a result, Tolva, who has been posting on Facebook for several years with the object of compiling his pieces for an eventual book, decided to do just that. Here’s the result, Politics, Religion and Other Stuff We’re Not Supposed to Discuss in Polite Society. Most of the topics are volatile enough that this book probably should not be brought to your next family gathering. You have been warned.

Download or read book Blindsided written by James L Ferraro and published by Gildan Media LLC aka G&D Media. This book was released on 2019-09-23 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1996, an unprecedented decade-long courtroom battle was waged in Florida to help bring justice and hope to the family of a young boy born with no eyes after his mother was doused outside of a local u-pick farm by a chemical fungicide believed to have caused his birth defect and the birth defects of many other children. It was a battle that nearly everyone but attorney Jim Ferraro deemed unwinnable. After all, it involved one of the world’s most powerful industrial giants. In the process, it was a fight that changed the landscape of tort law forever. Before it was over Castillo-vs-DuPont would go down in history as the first and one of the most important cases of its kind, setting precedent and also sparking a crucial debate over the questionable use of what is known as the “junk-science defense.” Blindsided is a blow-by-blow account of how a lone attorney challenged a dangerous threat to public health....and how the defenders never saw defeat coming. It’s a real life David and Goliath story―a true courtroom drama for the ages.

Book excerpt: NATIONAL BOOK CRITICS CIRCLE AWARD WINNER • The first full history of Black America’s shocking mistreatment as unwilling and unwitting experimental subjects at the hands of the medical establishment. No one concerned with issues of public health and racial justice can afford not to read this masterful book. "[Washington] has unearthed a shocking amount of information and shaped it into a riveting, carefully documented book." —New York Times From the era of slavery to the present day, starting with the earliest encounters between Black Americans and Western medical researchers and the racist pseudoscience that resulted, Medical Apartheid details the ways both slaves and freedmen were used in hospitals for experiments conducted without their knowledge—a tradition that continues today within some black populations. It reveals how Blacks have historically been prey to grave-robbing as well as unauthorized autopsies and dissections. Moving into the twentieth century, it shows how the pseudoscience of eugenics and social Darwinism was used to justify experimental exploitation and shoddy medical treatment of Blacks. Shocking new details about the government’s notorious Tuskegee experiment are revealed, as are similar, less-well-known medical atrocities conducted by the government, the armed forces, prisons, and private institutions. The product of years of prodigious research into medical journals and experimental reports long undisturbed, Medical Apartheid reveals the hidden underbelly of scientific research and makes possible, for the first time, an understanding of the roots of the African American health deficit. At last, it provides the fullest possible context for comprehending the behavioral fallout that has caused Black Americans to view researchers—and indeed the whole medical establishment—with such deep distrust.
