Pavilion Publishing and Media Ltd Developmental Coordination Disorder (Dyspraxia): How to Help
Part of the How to Help series of books exploring issues commonly faced by children and young people at home and at school, Developmental Coordination Disorder (Dyspraxia) offers a complete introduction to this complex and often misunderstood topic. DCD (historically sometimes called 'dyspraxia', although this term lacks any formal criteria) is a frequently under-detected condition that chiefly affects physical coordination but also impacts on many other areas of life. It is often seen as an 'enigma' due to the lack of clear consensus regarding definitions and terminology. Seeking to dispel myths about DCD, to improve understanding and to point the way to greater independence and participation for those affected, Sue LLoyd and Laura Graham explore the issues, challenges and experiences commonly faced by a young person with DCD - and how parents, carers, teachers and schools can help.

Harvard University Press Ecologies of Human Flourishing
In this volume, prominent Buddhist scholar Donald Swearer posits that the future requires a radical shift toward living in recognition of the interdependence of all life forms and the consequent ethic of communality and a life style of moderation or “enoughness” that flows from that recognition, which he calls “an ecology of human flourishing.” Swearer has assembled world-class thinkers to explore and imagine several dimensions of an ecology of human flourishing: economic, sociological, religious, ethical, environmental, historical, literary; how notions of human flourishing, quality of life, and common good have been constructed; and, in the contemporary world, how they are illuminated or are challenged by issues of distributive justice, poverty and economic inequality, global health, and environmental sustainability.With contributors ranging from ecoactivist Bill McKibben and medical anthropologist Arthur Kleinman, to transformative theologian Sallie McFague and Malaysian critic of global injustice Chandra Muzzafar, this book expresses ethical and religious aspirations to remake the world in the midst of the contradictions, injustices, and problems of our daily lives and today's global economic and climate crises.
