Summary

Individuals with Angelman Syndrome (AS) present many unique challenges to professionals, parents and others who are committed to maximizing individuals’ competence while ensuring them the best possible quality of life.  Angelman Syndrome: Communication, Educational, and Related Considerations is a unique, exhaustive compilation of existing material related to understanding the nature of AS and how individuals’ communication and related skills can be fostered most effectively. It provides readers with a comprehensive understanding of the background of Angelman Syndrome along with an in-depth exploration of communication (with a focus on augmentative and alternative communication), educational, and related issues that should be addressed when attempting to meet the needs of individuals with AS at home, school, work, and elsewhere in the community. 
Key features of the book include:
·        Extensive background information about medical and related factors behind AS and how they influence individuals’ learning
·        A series of prologues written by the parents of individuals with AS
·        Contributions from internationally recognized experts on AS, communication disorders, psychology and education
·        Numerous practical, evidence-based strategies for conducting assessments and carrying out interventions among AS affected individuals
 
Speech-language pathologists, allied healthcare providers and educators providing support to affected individuals should benefit from the information provided in the book by being able to identify appropriate communication, behavioral and educational goals. Laypersons, particularly parents, will also find the information highly useful in advocating for best practices for their children (which is partly fostered by the series of parental prologues).
Angelman Syndrome: Communication, Educational, and Related Considerations will not only serve as a valuable reference for improving the learning experience for AS affected individuals but will also embolden both professionals and parents to maintain higher expectations for them.

    Malört may be the worst thing you'll ever taste. 
 
 
 
Known primarily for its intense bitterness, the infamous Chicago liqueur has been compared to "a forest fire, if the forest was made of earwax." Yet lurking in the horror and the mockery lies the truth of Malört: we keep going back for more. For nearly a hundred years, we've gone back. 
 
 
 
Jeppson's Malört could have died a hundred deaths in that time. Its survival wasn't always a given. There were cultural shifts and fortunate timing that helped transform a drink rooted in centuries-old Swedish tradition into the American sensation it is today. 
 
 
 
Malört is a story of love, relationships, and how one generation finds meaning where generations before did not. 
 
 
 
Author and beer expert Josh Noel unpacks a uniquely American tale, equal parts culture, business, and personal relationships—involving secret love, federal prison, a David vs. Goliath court battle, and the 2018 sale of Jeppson's Malört, which made Pat Gabelick, a seventy-five-year-old Chicago woman who spent much of her life as a legal secretary, into an unlikely millionaire. 
 
 
 
Malört isn't just the story of one brazen liquor—it is the story of modern tastes and cultural shifts.

    If we had no belief what would happen to us? - 23 July 1949 
• Without self-knowledge we cannot go beyond the self-projected illusions of the 
mind. 
• It’s only in relationship that one can know oneself as one is. 
• A mind that is filled with beliefs, dogmas, assertions and quotations is an un 
creative, repetitive mind. 
• Can we look at ourselves without beliefs? 
• A mind that is quiet because it understands fear and understands itself is 
creative. 
• Q: Our mind knows only the known. What is it in us that drives us to find the 
unknown, reality, or God?

    The South - Jim Crow and Its...

    The last generation of Americans with a living memory of Jim Crow will soon disappear. They leave behind a collective memory of segregation shaped increasingly by its horrors and heroic defeat but not a nuanced understanding of everyday life in Jim Crow America. In The South, Adolph L. Reed Jr.—New Orleanian, political scientist, and according to Cornel West, "the greatest democratic theorist of his generation"—takes up the urgent task of recounting the granular realities of life in the last decades of the Jim Crow South. 
 
 
 
Reed illuminates the multifaceted structures of the segregationist order. Through his personal history and political acumen, we see America's apartheid system from the ground up, not just its legal framework or systems of power, but the way these systems structured the day-to-day interactions, lives, and ambitions of ordinary working people. 
 
 
 
The South is more than a memoir or a history. Filled with analysis and fascinating firsthand accounts of the operation of the system that codified and enshrined racial inequality, this book is required reading for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of America's second peculiar institution the future created in its wake.
