La historia de Donna Williams es realmente extraordinaria. Este libro es la primera parte de su vida. La segunda está escrita en Alguien en algún lugar (Ned ediciones, 2012).En Nadie en ningún lugar, la autora muestra de qué manera una persona que lo tiene todo en contra puede a partir de los pocos elementos que los azares de la vida y su entorno ponen a su disposición llegar a construir una buena vida.Nos enseña que lo que se llama hoy autismo es una realidad compleja, que incluye realidades muy diversas. La riqueza de la descripción que nos hace Donna de su mundo y de los medios de su lucha nos muestran a una persona única, más allá de lo que cualquier etiqueta nos puede transmitir. Por otra parte, también nos da a ver, con una visión crítica que no dejará indiferente a nadie, la distancia que hay entre nuestras formas de querer ayudar a una persona y el hecho de ayudarla realmente en términos que para ella sean aceptables.Y no se limita esto, sino que aporta ideas muy co

Podemos mimar nuestro paladar al mismo tiempo que cuidamos nuestro organismo, ese es el fruto de la alimentación. Somos lo que comemos, y por eso la calidad de los ingredientes que entran en nuestro cuerpo son de vital importancia para funcionar correctamente en cada una de las etapas a las que nos enfrentaremos en nuestra vida.

Este libro expone con rigor la insostenibilidad del TDAH como entidad clínica. Y se pregunta cómo es posible que tantos sigan convencidos de su evidencia? Una perspectiva metacientífica como la de esta obra nos ayuda a comprender cómo la propia investigación científica tiende a confirmarse a sí misma. Los padres indignados con los críticos del TDAH podrían estar contentos con un libro así, pues propone ayudas para que los niños vuelvan a la normalidad y los defiende del fuego amigo que los convierte en enfermos.Este libro puede interesar incluso a quienes no están concernidos por el TDAH con razonamientos aplicables a cualquier ámbito de la clínica psiquiátrica. Respecto de los interesados, es particularmente estimulante para investigadores y clínicos que no quieran dejar de lado un aspecto tan fundamental de la ciencia como es revisar las propias asunciones. El personal escolar podría dejar de ser bróker de la industria farmacéutica, los políticos podrían pensar antes de promover

Tres momentos marcan la biografía de este vertiginoso ensamblaje. El primero es el despojo llevado a cabo durante la trata atlántico entre los siglos XV y XIX, cuando hombres y mujeres originarios de África son transformados en hombres-objetos, hombres-mercancías y hombres-monedas de cambio. Prisioneros en el calabozo de las apariencias, a partir de ese instante pasan a pertenecer a otros. Víctimas de un trato hostil, pierden su nombre y su lengua; continúan siendo sujetos activos, pese a que su vida y su trabajo pertenecen a aquellos con quienes están condenados a vivir sin poder entablar relaciones humanas.El segundo momento corresponde al nacimiento de la escritura y comienza hacia finales del siglo XVIII cuando, a través de sus propias huellas, los Negros, estos seres-cooptados-por-otros, comienzan a articular un lenguaje propio y son capaces de reivindicarse como sujetos plenos en el mundo viviente. Marcado por innumerables revueltas de esclavos y la independencia de Haití en 1

La nutrición humana es una disciplina compleja, multifacética y en continuo desarrollo que para ser entendida y bien aplicada se ha de conocer a través de los alimentos que la componen y su mejor combinación. Nuestro mundo nos provee de miles de ingredientes cargados de los nutrientes necesarios para el buen funcionamiento de nuestro organismo pero de entre todos esos alimentos los investigadores han empezado a seleccionar algunos que destacan muy por encima del resto por sus inigualables propiedades. La solución para una vida más sana no anda muy lejos.Sólo hace falta acercarse al mercado local en busca de ciertos productos clave y aprender a combinarlos adecuadamente, desterrando esos viejos clichés que sustentan la idea de que una dieta saludable tiene por fuerza que ser aburrida. El placer definitivamente no está reñido con la salud!

El testimonio de Donna Williams constituye una aportación esencial en la lucha contra el autismo. El saber que extrae de su propia experiencia vital está cargado de enseñanzas para todos aquellos concernidos por esta forma extrema de la experiencia humana: las familias, los profesionales, sean éstos psicólogos, psicoanalistas, psiquiatras o médicos, pero también los políticos y el público en general. Todos tienen mucho que aprender sobre una serie de aspectos que ella describe de un modo preciso y minucioso, dando claves de enorme valor para entender un modo de funcionamiento que desafía la lógica común y que, por este mismo motivo, genera graves incomprensiones y rechazos. Rechazos, por otra parte, que pueden convertirse en prácticas cuestionables, en la medida que ignoran la angustia de quien es sometido a ellas sin atender a sus necesidades más profundas y a lo que hace de él o de ella un ser humano singular.

SHORTLISTED FOR THE SUNDAY TIMES SPORTS BOOK AWARDS 2023 - SPORTS ENTERTAINMENT BOOK OF THE YEAR 'What Ned hasn’t seen on a sports TV channel isn’t worth knowing about.' Gabby Logan 'From falling out with Mourinho to flying with Gerrard, this is a wonderful journey through football.' Henry Winter Square Peg, Round Ball is a candid, insightful reminiscence on a life in football. Although best known as ITV's commentator on the Tour de France, Ned Boulting has spent most of his professional life covering football. Follow Ned's journey from football supporter to reporter – from criss-crossing the country in a banger of a car hoping for a word or two from the latest big signing, to the glamour of the Champions League. Ned really has been there, done that, and got the Sky Sports jacket to prove it. Witnessing the shenanigans, the machinations and the idiocy of football at close quarters Ned shares his best stories with affection. Whether it's treading mud into Steven Gerrard's pristine white carpets, or nearly being pushed into oncoming traffic by a menacing Vinnie Jones, or being chased away from Roman Abramovich's house by some scary looking men on quadbikes – Ned has made a fool of himself to bring us the best tales from his experiences in 90s and 2000s football.

‘British cyclist. It used to be an oxymoron, a sort of silliness. Like French Cricket’ Ned Boulting has noticed something. It’s to do with bikes. They’re everywhere. And so are their riders. Some of these riders seem to be sporting sideburns and a few of them are winning things. Big things. Now Ned wants to know how on earth it came to this. And what, exactly is 'this'. In On the Road Bike, Ned Boulting asks how Britain became so obsessed with cycling. His journey takes him from the velodrome at Herne Hill to the Tour of Britain at Stoke-on-Trent via Bradley Wiggins, Chris Boardman, David Millar (and David’s mum), Ken Livingstone, both Tommy Godwins, Gary Kemp (yes, him from Spandau Ballet) and many, many more. The result is an amusing and personal exploration of the austere, nutty soul of British cycling.'Funny, fascinating and frequently touching ... will be enjoyed by anyone with even a passing interest in cycling. No bib shorts required' Guardian

Join Ned Boulting as he reports on his dozen-th Tour de France, an event in which blokes do amazing things on bikes, and, we’re oft told, the biggest annual sporting event in the world.101 Damnations is a chance to relive the 2014 race, stage for stage, fall after fall, tantrum by tantrum; just the good bits mind, without all the aerial shots of castles. Or sunflowers. (Though it does wax lyrical about some stunning Alpine scenery . . . and, with the race starting in Yorkshire, even some stunning scenery not far from Bradford).From Leeds to Paris (how often do you say that?), Ned details the minutiae of his encounters with the likes of Vincenzo Nibali, David Millar, Chris Froome, Chris Boardman (or ‘Broadman’ as some would have it), Marcel Kittel, Mrs Cavendish (Mark’s wife), Peter Sagan and the rest. Their endeavours, achievements, humour and occasional rancour, sit alongside his own decade-long quest for the ideal end-of-race T-shirt.Ned weaves together the interesting, amusing and unheralded threads of the race itself, and reflects on his own perennial struggle to get round, get on and get by. 101 Damnations encapsulates all that is incredible – and incredibly ordinary – about the greatest race on earth.

For 250 years chapels have been at the heart of Black country life - both social and religious. Poor social conditions in this heavily industrialised area stimulated the growth of religious nonconformity, and chapel influence is strong even today, despite many closures and demolitions over the last few years. In this third book, Ned Willliams covers the areas that have not been featured already - including Walsall, Wednesbury and Darlaston, as well as denominations that have so far been under-represented.

This concise overview of the work of designer Alvin Lustig (1915-55) focuses on his book covers, vehicles for his bold graphic experimentation. Here is a colorful and well-researched representation of Alvin Lustig's book cover designs that were created primarily for New Directions Books and Noonday Press, among others. Lustig used the book cover as a vehicle of his bold graphic experimentation that was enhanced by a lifelong collaboration with James Laughlin, founder and publisher of New Directions Books. Ned Drew and Paul Sternberger cite many passages from these letters of correspondence betweenLustig and Laughlin which include a range of topics from the early 1940s up to Lustig's untimely death in 1955. As a modern designer, Lustig's interests spanned many fields: architectural, industrial and interior design which served as an expression of his deeply held convictions. For him, the designer was not a single-minded specialist, but an integrator of many art forms-and simultaneously, as he saw it, a spokesman for social change. NED DREW teaches at Rutgers University-Newark and is also the director of The Design Consortium, a student/teacher run design studio that focuses on non-profit, community-based projects. Paul Sternberger is an Associate Professor of Art History at Rutgers University-Newark. He is co-author with colleague Ned Drew of By It's Cover: Modern American Book Cover Design.

In Heart of Dart-ness, TV's Ned Boulting sets out to answer the forty-something year old question: What exactly is darts? Is it a sport, a freak show, a side-show, a pantomime, a riot or a party?From Purfleet to Minehead, Milton Keynes to Frankfurt, Ned embarks on a journey back to the beginning of the modern game. He tracks down some of the household names who graced childhood television screens and are still among us; names such as Andy Fordham, whose fifty bottles of Pils a day habit led to his near death on the oche, Cliff Lazarenko, whose prodigious drinking was the stuff of legend even among his not exactly abstemious peer-group, Phil Taylor, the greatest of all time, as well as the Europeans, Michael van Gerwen, and Raymond van Barneveld.Is it entertainment, or exploitation? To answer that question, as well as every other, he learns that all roads lead to the Heart of Dart-ness, and the biggest character the game has ever produced, Eric Bristow.Perhaps darts is after all, just exactly what it sets out to be; an anti-sport sport, a two-fingered salute to the establishment, a piss-up in a brewery, the ultimate escape. The best night out.
