Sinossi

Speech and Language Support explores evidence-based interventions for students with language-based learning disabilities, which significantly impact reading, writing, and comprehension. The book bridges the gap between research and practice, detailing therapeutic techniques and communication strategies applicable in educational settings. It highlights the importance of personalized approaches, acknowledging that a one-size-fits-all method is insufficient. A key insight is how effective intervention improves not only academic performance but also overall cognitive development.

The book uniquely emphasizes adapting communication strategies to suit individual student needs within inclusive classrooms. It draws upon case studies, clinical trials, and meta-analyses to demonstrate the effectiveness of different interventions. The approach is multi-faceted, incorporating insights from neuroscience, education theory, and psychology to enhance the understanding of these neurodevelopmental disorders. For example, it delves into the debate between phonics-based and whole-language approaches, providing a balanced perspective.

The book begins by defining language-based learning disabilities and then transitions into an exploration of speech and language therapy techniques. It progresses to specific communication strategies for educators and parents, culminating in the importance of collaboration among therapists, educators, and families. The ultimate goal is to equip professionals with concrete guidance and reliable information to foster student success in both therapeutic and educational contexts.

The Environmental Unconscious -...

Steven Swarbrick

Why has psychoanalysis long been kept at the margins of environmental criticism despite the theories of eco-Marxism, queer ecology, and eco-deconstruction available today? What is unique, possibly even traumatic, about eco-psychoanalysis? The Environmental Unconscious addresses these questions as it provides an innovative and theoretical account of environmental loss focused on the counterintuitive forms of enjoyment that early modern poetry and psychoanalysis jointly theorize. 
 
 
 
Steven Swarbrick urges literary critics and environmental scholars to rethink notions of entanglement, animacy, and consciousness raising. Through close readings of Edmund Spenser, Walter Ralegh, Andrew Marvell, and John Milton, he reveals a world of matter that is not merely hyperconnected, as in the new materialism, but porous and off-kilter. And yet the loss these poets reveal is central to the enjoyment their works offer—and that nature offers. 
 
 
 
The Environmental Unconscious offers a provocative challenge to ecocriticism that a new theory of disconnection is desperately needed. Tracing the propulsive force of the environmental unconscious from the early modern period to Freudian and post-Freudian theories of desire, Swarbrick not only puts nature on the couch in this book but also renews the psychoanalytic toolkit in light of environmental collapse.

Circular Health - Empowering the...

Ilaria Capua, Louise O. Fresco

The COVID-19 pandemic has demonstrated our fragility as a species. Humanity was attacked by a previously unknown virus that spread very rapidly, thanks to a speed of population mobility never before seen in human history. It succeeded in creating the complete upset of the global socio-economic system. Such an event gives us an important stimulus to re-evaluate health in the context of a circular system that encompasses humans and the environment in which we live. The key challenge we face is the discovery of novel paths to crisis resolution. Can we abandon the often cherished, but now rather obsolete, tendency to specialize in a restricted subject area? Can we re-discover the ability to become permeable to ideas that reach us from other disciplines and embrace a thinking-out-of-the-box approach? This book encourages the reader to consider this challenge via the telling of stories, both great and small. Stories that, although sometimes overlooked, have defi ned the course of our history and thus open the door to a new pathway of progress. In some ways, COVID-19 may have shown the direction nature expects us to take. Ilaria Capua suggests to us that, today more than ever, we are the responsible actors in the circle of life, guardians of our planet and defenders of its health. As one entity of circular nature.

Crush - Close Encounters with...

James Riordon

Gravity is at once familiar and mysterious. It's the reason for the numbers on your bathroom scale, the intricate dance of the stars and planets, and the evolution and eventual fate of the universe. In Crush, James Riordon takes listeners on a tour of gravity from its vanishing insignificance on the microscopic scale to its crushing extreme inside black holes.From the moment we lift our heads as infants until the moment we lie down and ultimately surrender to its pull at the end of our lives, we labor under the burden of gravity. It has guided the shape and structure of our bodies over eons of evolution and sculpted the Earth as it cooled from a blob of molten rock. As Riordon explains, the stars couldn't shine without gravity holding them together. Even the atoms that make up you and everything around you were forged in stellar furnaces that gravity built. It took Einstein to realize that gravity is not, in fact, a force at all, but instead the curvature of space and time.A fascinating and memorable listen, Crush examines our personal relationships with gravity; explores gravity's role in making the universe uniquely hospitable for life; and even reveals how the mundane flow of water in your kitchen sink offers a glimpse into the secrets of black holes.
