The Pros and Cons of Vivisection

Charles Richet

Summary

To scientific readers, Professor Charles Richet needs no introduction, but to the public at large it may be necessary to mention that he is one of the best known of French physiologists. He has occupied for a good many years the Chair of Physiology in the Faculty of Medicine in Paris, and he has contributed greatly to the progress of the science to which he has devoted his life; some of his discoveries are alluded to with all modesty in the pages which follow.
The object of this book is to set forth, as impartially as possible, the reasons which militate for and against vivisection. It is, however, a physiologist who is speaking, therefore no one will be surprised that he should defend a practice which is at the basis of the science he teaches.

Asperger Syndrome - A...

Frank Ryan

Asperger syndrome (AS), also known as Asperger's syndrome, Asperger disorder (AD) or simply Asperger's, is an autism spectrum disorder (ASD) that is characterized by significant difficulties in social interaction and nonverbal communication, alongside restricted and repetitive patterns of behavior and interests. It differs from other autism spectrum disorders by its relative preservation of linguistic and cognitive development. 
Many people are afflicted with and suffer from Asperger’s and there is little to no understanding by the general public in regards to this syndrome. There is a lack of awareness, so when people encounter someone who has Asperger’s they view them strangely because aspies (as they commonly refer to themselves as) act and communicate differently from the rest of society so they are easily misunderstood. 
In his book entitled “Asperger Syndrome” author and Asperger expert Frank Ryan offers a comprehensive guide for understanding, living with and treating Asperger syndrome. 
Here are some of the topics covered: 
• Detail overview and history of the Asperger Syndrome 
• Effects of the syndrome on social interactions 
• Effects of the syndrome on behavior and interests 
• Effects of the syndrome on speech and language 
• Effects of the syndrome on motor and sensory perception 
• Therapies and medication 
• Alternative therapies and treatments 
• Available aids 
• Children who suffer from Asperger 
• Adults who suffer from Asperger 
• How to deal with and manage a loved one who has Asperger
