Taylor & Francis Ltd Graphic Lives: Lexi: A Graphic Novel for Young
Book SynopsisGraphic Lives is a series of highly engaging graphic novels for young people who may need counselling and psychotherapy. Each book introduces the difficulties faced by a teenage character and follows them as they travel on their therapeutic journey with a skilled and creative therapist.The key aims of these books are to demystify counselling and psychotherapy so that it is more appealing and accessible to young people to destigmatise emotional and mental health problems so that young people are better able to accept help to encourage young people to embark upon their own healing journeys, equipped with the sense that there is a way forward. Following the traumatic break-up of her parents' marriage, Lexi feels excluded and unloved. Unable to cope with her emotions, she self-harms, cutting herself with a scalpel. When her boyfriend splits up with her the self-harm intensifies until Lexi's sister persuades her to see Steph, the school counsellor. Together they explore some of the experiences that have shaped the way Lexi responds to negative emotions, and though the challenges she faces remain the same, as the therapy continues she learns how to experience those emotions without self-harming.Table of ContentsStorybook

Oxford University Press Helping Children with Autism Learn
Book SynopsisChildren with autistic spectrum disorders have unique learning styles, or autistic learning disabilities. These pose unique challenges to parents seeking the best educational path for their autistic child, and for educators shaping educational programs for children with autism and related disorders.In Helping Children with Autism Learn, Dr Siegel, a developmental psychologist and director of a large university clinic for autistic children, provides concrete guidance for dealing with these challenges. The book not only enumerates the autistic learning disabilities, but critiques all of the available educational programs for these children, pointing out the strengths and weaknesses of each program and the appropriateness of a program for specific disabilities.Helping Children with Autism Learn is structured so that the parent and teacher can use it as a program planner and can evaluate the success and appropriateness of each strategy, refining the program as necessary. Key areas of conceTrade Review"Besides writing in an accessible and often lighthearted style, Siegel has established an excellent and clearly defined structure for each chapter, providing a concise overview, thorough descriptions, and conclusions that help bridge the gap between readers with different backgrounds and familiarity with ASD."--Library Journal (starred review)"Excels at showing what parents and educators need to do to reach autistic children. She includes a valuable section on having successful individualized educational programs (IEPs), the standard for children with special needs."--Library Journal (Collection Development for Autism)"This book contains an abundance of clearly written, easy to understand information for educating the child with autism."--Temple Gradin, author of Thinking in Pictures"This is a very positive book--sensitive to the dilemmas that children with autism face and positive about their ability to learn and adapt. It focuses on solutions to the challenges that autism presents, solutions that lead to new learning and adapting. Siegel's conversational style of language makes the book highly accessible for parents, teachers, and the various interventionists who serve children with autism. Her description of the matrix of abilities and disabilities--how the core neuropsychological features of autism come together to create patterns of strengths and weaknesses--demystifies some of the puzzle of autism. She draws the outline of the separate pieces and shows how they fit together to form both the familiar pattern of autism that clinicians recognize but also the individual profile that defines each individual person with autism."--Sally Rogers, Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, The M.I.N.D. Institute, University of California Davis Medical Center"Bryna Siegel has made a thoughtful and learned analysis of the unique and perplexing learning strengths and weaknesses exemplified by the autism spectrum. Her book makes a valuable contribution to parents and professionals searching for clarification."--Eric Schopler, Founder and Co-Director, Division TEACCH, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill"The landscape of educational and treatment options for children with autism spectrum disorders is complex and often overwhelming for parents and professionals. Drawing from her many years of experience, Dr. Siegel provides a helpful guide for making decisions about directions in educational programming."--Barry M.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Engendering Mayan History
Book SynopsisPresenting Mayan history from the perspective of Mayan women--whose voices until now have not been documented--David Carey allows these women to present their worldviews in their native language, adding a rich layer to recent Latin American historiography, and increasing our comprehension of indigenous perspectives of the past.Drawing on years of research among the Maya that specifically documents women's oral histories, Carey gives Mayan women a platform to discuss their views on education, migrant labor, work in the home, female leadership, and globalization. These oral histories present an ideal opportunity to understand indigenous women's approach to history, the apparent contradictions in gender roles in Mayan communities, and provide a distinct conceptual framework for analyzing Guatamalan, Mayan, and Latin American history.Table of ContentsAcknowledgements A Note on Mayan Orthography List of Illustrations Introduction: Mayan Women as History 1.

John Wiley & Sons Producing Excellence The Making of Virtuosos
Book SynopsisDriven by a passion for music, for excellence, and for fame, violin soloists are immersed from early childhood in high-pressure competitions, regular public appearances, and arduous daily practice. An in-depth study of nearly one hundred such children, Producing Excellence illuminates the process these young violinists undergo to become elite international soloists.Trade Review"To all those kids out there dreaming of reaching the highest levels of classical music fame, this book whispers be careful what you wish for." 5-star review * Foreword Reviews *"Employing ethnographic evidence that is breathtaking in scope, professor Wagner combines illuminating analysis with compelling and often poignant narrative. Soundly organized and lucidly written, Producing Excellence presents an intimate and insightful view of a fascinating art world." -- Paul DiMaggio * A. Barton Hepburn Professor of Sociology and Public Affairs at Princeton University *"Wagner's Producing Excellence is a first-rate piece of ethnographic observation, a solid work of sociological analysis, and a fascinating story of the complex and at times cruel world that produces the violin virtuosi we read about in the newspapers." -- Howard Becker * author of Art Worlds *"The narrative of the child prodigy bewitches parents, and not just when it comes to music. We’re taught that the cost of genius is instability or underdevelopment in other areas, but we rarely hear about the people who finish third through tenth. Also-rans make up the vast majority in every race, but in any field of elite competition the losers have to subject themselves to the same work, same costs, same instability, same underdevelopment, but without the glory or affirmation that come with making it. We like to believe that the winners were that much better or tried that much harder, but the difference between the two is often an arbitrary twist of fate or a powerful person’s whim." Read the full article here (http://bit.ly/1NroPNt) * New Republic *"As several sociologists writing about music worlds, Wagner is herself deeply embedded within the field studied … She reports with rare intellectual honest the methodological pros and cons deriving from this 'embedded researcher' condition … Hopefully her book will help in proving artistic careers as a significant research field not only for sociologists of arts and culture, but also of education and work." * Sociologica *"A keen-eyed participant-observer study of the career training of violin virtuosi." * London Review of Books *Table of ContentsAcknowledgments Introduction: Prelude—Scandal on the Stage 1 A Short History of the Virtuoso Profession 2 Before Entering Soloist Class: Early Socialization of Soloist Students 3 Triad Collaboration: First Stage of Soloist Education 4 Crisis and Career Coupling: The Second Stage of Soloist Education 5 Entrance into Adult Career: The Third Stage of Soloist Education 6 The Soloist Class Students’ Careers Conclusion: Career Coupling and Nothing New in the Soloist World Appendix Difficulties and Limits: Some Methodological Aspects about Attachment and Distance within Ethnographic Work Notes References Index
