Waging War on the Autistic Child
Author: Andrew J. Wakefield
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1510705392
Category : Health & Fitness
Languages : en
Pages : 415
Book Description
As the number of children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorders grows each year, new discoveries and controversies arise. Andrew Wakefield explores many of these in his thorough investigation of the recent trial case of the “Arizona 5,” which destroyed an Arizona family. Two parents, with five children on the spectrum, were accused of Munchausen syndrome by proxy—a rare form of child abuse—and were ganged up on by physicians, child protective services, and the courts, who alleged that the parents fabricated medical symptoms in all five children. However, Wakefield now presents ample evidence that was disregarded and that would have proven the parents’ innocence. Families affected by autism suffer great hardship and prejudice, particularly as they navigate the uncertain waters of diagnosis, treatment, and education. The shocking story of the Arizona 5 family delves into the tremendous challenges some parents have to face, especially if their views on how to treat the syndrome don’t align with the medical world’s standards. Wakefield also includes numerous studies and research trials that support the controversial yet significant roles that vaccines and diet play in autism, factors many medical professionals wrongfully dismiss.

The Arizona Kid
Author: Andrew McBride
Publisher: Robert Hale Ltd
ISBN: 0719823811
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 83
Book Description
When former hired gun, Calvin Taylor, took the job of sheriff of Oxford County, New Mexico, it was for one reason only – to catch, or kill, the notorious Arizona Kid, and pick up the fifteen hundred dollars reward the governor had secretly offered. Blood money, some called it, and pinning on a sheriff's badge set Taylor against the woman in his life and the community in which he lived. He found himself on the trail of the infamous gang known as the Regulators, hunting down a man who'd once been his friend. And as this trail wound deeper into the wilderness, into the hell-on-earth that was the White Sands, the pursuit became, in every sense, a journey of death.

Walking By Hope
Author: Danya Ibarra
Publisher: Independently Published
ISBN:
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 86
Book Description
The one thing Danya Ibarra wanted most while battling Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia was to tell her story and witness her unwavering faith throughout her cancer journey. Battling leukemia is scary. All the treatments and procedures are confusing enough for an adult. But young Danya, just 15 years old when she was diagnosed, knew her challenge was also an opportunity to share her belief in God's protective powers. How many times have cancer patients (at any age) thought, "I should write about this to help others know what it's like, or even what to expect."? Danya committed herself to do just that -- and Make-A-Wish Arizona made it all possible. This is the first of what the author hopes are more books to come. She'd also like to become a doctor one day. For now, however, graduating high school and heading on to college are her goals for the near future -- especially now that she's healthy and finally able to return to class in person.

Raising Arizona
Author: Joel Coen
Publisher: Macmillan
ISBN: 9780312022709
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 164
Book Description
It's easy to see why Raising Arizona is one of the best and most beloved films that Ethan and Joel Coen have yet to create. The cultish humor, original characters, fresh cinematography, catchy soundtrack, and zany yet well-structured plot to be found in this film are all Coen brothers trademarks. Nicholas Cage plays a veteran criminal who marries a prison guard named Edwina (Holly Hunter). Because he and his wife cannot conceive, our convict-hero kidnaps, with only the most earnest intentions, one of the famous "Arizona Quintuplets." A hellacious bounty-hunting biker and two old pals who have just escaped from the pen make it very hard for the couple to raise their child properly. This is a movie—and a screenplay—marked by breathless chases, improbable scenes, and hilarious dialogue throughout.

Missing Middle Housing
Author: Daniel G. Parolek
Publisher: Island Press
ISBN: 1642830542
Category : Architecture
Languages : en
Pages : 330
Book Description
Today, there is a tremendous mismatch between the available housing stock in the US and the housing options that people want and need. The post-WWII, auto-centric, single-family-development model no longer meets the needs of residents. Urban areas in the US are experiencing dramatically shifting household and cultural demographics and a growing demand for walkable urban living. Missing Middle Housing, a term coined by Daniel Parolek, describes the walkable, desirable, yet attainable housing that many people across the country are struggling to find. Missing Middle Housing types—such as duplexes, fourplexes, and bungalow courts—can provide options along a spectrum of affordability. In Missing Middle Housing, Parolek, an architect and urban designer, illustrates the power of these housing types to meet today’s diverse housing needs. With the benefit of beautiful full-color graphics, Parolek goes into depth about the benefits and qualities of Missing Middle Housing. The book demonstrates why more developers should be building Missing Middle Housing and defines the barriers cities need to remove to enable it to be built. Case studies of built projects show what is possible, from the Prairie Queen Neighborhood in Omaha, Nebraska to the Sonoma Wildfire Cottages, in California. A chapter from urban scholar Arthur C. Nelson uses data analysis to highlight the urgency to deliver Missing Middle Housing. Parolek proves that density is too blunt of an instrument to effectively regulate for twenty-first-century housing needs. Complete industries and systems will have to be rethought to help deliver the broad range of Missing Middle Housing needed to meet the demand, as this book shows. Whether you are a planner, architect, builder, or city leader, Missing Middle Housing will help you think differently about how to address housing needs for today’s communities.
