Book Description
In Windows to Minds, Martinez masterfully uses free form poetry to present perspectives of life that range from pleasantly endearing to shockingly confrontational. He invites readers to open their minds and consider his perspectives, while ultimately challenging them to think for themselves and not take anything he or anyone else says for granted. At the end, he even invites them to put their own perspectives on life into words! Windows to Minds has the power to either demand you turn the pages quickly, or force you to slow down and think. Its brutal honesty may have the same person who nods their head in agreement at some points, shake their head and curse under their breath at others. Perhaps not since Walt Whitman has free form poetry taken such a powerful form. But Martinez is not the next Walt Whitman-he is the first Michael Martinez, and this manifesto of his opinions and perspectives attests to this.

The Boy Who Loved Windows
Author: Patricia Stacey
Publisher: Da Capo Lifelong Books
ISBN: 0786742070
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 316
Book Description
Discover the uplifting true story of a family's journey to better understand their son with autism—and learn how a combination of science and loving persistence changed all of their lives. In 1997, writer Patricia Stacey and her husband Cliff learned that their six-month-old son Walker might never walk or talk, or even hear or see. Unwilling to accept this grim prediction, they embarked on a five-year odyssey that took them into alternative medicine, the newest brain research, and toward a new and innovative understanding of autism. Finally their search led them to pioneering developmental psychiatrist Stanley Greenspan who helped them communicate with their son and bring him into full contact with the world. This enthralling memoir, at once heart-wrenching and hopeful, takes the reader into the life of one remarkable family. We stand witness as they struggle to elicit the first sign that Walker is connecting with them, and share in their fears, struggles, tiny victories, and eventual triumphs. The Boy Who Loved Windows is compelling and thoughtful reading for parents and professionals who care for children with autism and other developmental disorders. The book is also a stunning literary debut, of interest to anyone who cares about the lives of children and the passion of families who put their children first.

That Was When People Started to Worry
Author: Nancy Tucker
Publisher: Icon Books
ISBN: 1785782940
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 195
Book Description
' This is mental illness. It is unexpected strength and unusual luck and an uninterrupted string of steps. Then the next wave comes. And while you wipe grit from your eyes and swipe blood from your knees, the smiling faces in the distance call out: Why do you keep falling over?! Just stand up!' Conversations about mental health are increasing, but we still seldom hear what it's really like to suffer from mental illness. Enter Nancy Tucker, author of the acclaimed eating disorder memoir, The Time In Between. Based on her interviews with young women aged 16–25, That Was When People Started to Worry weaves together experiences of mental illness into moving narratives, humorous anecdotes, and guidance as to how we can all be more empathetic towards those who suffer. Tucker offers an authentic impression of seven common mental illnesses: depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, self-harm, disordered eating, PTSD and borderline personality disorder. Giving a voice to those who often find it hard to speak themselves, Tucker presents a unique window into the day-to-day trials of living with an unwell mind. She pushes readers to reflect on how we think, talk about and treat mental illness in young women.
