The Ethics of Autism: Among Them, But Not of Them

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Barnbaum, Deborah R., PUBLISHER: Indiana University Press, Autism is one of the most compelling, controversial, and heartbreaking cognitive disorders. It presents unique philosophical challenges as well, raising intriguing questions in philosophy of mind, cognitive science, and philosophy of language that need to be explored if the autistic population is to be responsibly served. Starting from the "theory of mind" thesis that a fundamental deficit in autism is the inability to recognize that other persons have minds, Deborah R. Barnbaum considers its implications for the nature of consciousness, our understanding of the consciousness of others, meaning theories in philosophy of language, and the modality of mind. This discussion lays the groundwork for consideration of the value of an autistic life, as well as the moral theories available to persons with autism. The book also explores questions about genetic decision making, research into the nature of autism, and the controversial quest for a cure. This is a timely and wide-ranging book on a disorder that commends itself to serious ethical examination.

The existence of God, like the air we breathe, need not be proven. It is a question of developing good lungs to meet it correctly."

Constitutional Reform and Effective Government, REV. Ed.

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Sundquist, James L., PUBLISHER: Brookings Institution Press, For years the public has become increasingly disillusioned and cynical about its governmental institutions. In the face of alarming problems-most notably the $400 billion budget deficit-the government seems deadlocked, reduced to partisan posturing and bickering, with the president and Congress blaming each other for failure. And neither party can be held accountable. The public tendency is to blame individual leaders- or politicians as a class-but an insistent and growing number of experienced statesmen and political scientists believe that much of the difficulty can be traced to the governmental structure itself, designed in the eighteenth century and essentially unchanged since then. Is that inherited constitutional system adequate to meet the challenges of the twenty-first century, or has the time come for fundamental change? Should we adopt an electoral system that encourages unified control of the presidency, the Senate and the House? Lengthen terms of office? Limit congressional terms? Abolish or modify the electoral college? Introduce a mechanism for calling special elections? Permit legislators to hold executive offices? Redistribute the balance of powers within the governmental system? In this revised edition of his highly acclaimed volume, James Sundquist reviews the origins and rationale of the constitutional structure and the current debate about whether reform is needed, then raises practical questions about what changes might work best if a consensus should emerge that the national government is too prone to stalemate to meet its responsibilities. Analyzing the main proposals advanced to adapt the Constitution to current conditions, he attempts to separate theworkable ideas from the unworkable, the effective from the ineffective, the possibly feasible from the wholly infeasible, and finally arrives at a set of recommendations of his own.

Perceiving God: The Epistemology of Religious Experience

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Alston, William P., PUBLISHER: Cornell University Press, In this clear and provocative account of the epistemology of religious experience, William P. Alston argues that the perception of God-his term for direct experiential awareness of God-makes a major contribution to the grounds of religious belief. Surveying the variety of reported direct experiences of God, Alston demonstrates that a person can be justified in holding certain beliefs about God on the basis of mystical experience.

Mathematics for Curriculum Leaders

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Rawson, William B., PUBLISHER: Routledge, "Mathematics for Curriculum Leaders" challenges teachers to ask questions about the nature of understanding in mathematics and the ideas underlying its teaching and learning. The book suggests that more attention should be given to the processes children apply rather than simply accepting their final product as evidence of engagement or understanding. "Mathematics for Curriculum Leaders" is divided into seven units, each dealing with distinct aspects of the learning of primary mathematics. Each unit provides appropriate activities to support children in their attempts to report their thinking, and focuses on the sensitive collection and interpretation of this information so that the students can be given a prudent course of instruction through the important primary education years.

No One Sees My Pain

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Naylor, Angela, PUBLISHER: Xulon Press, And They Overcame By The Blood Of The Lamb And Through The Words Of Their Testimony This book is my personal testimony of my journey to find life or to find God, in that they are one and the same. It is the revelation of the truth about life revealed to me from the mouth of Jesus, out of the belly of the Holy Spirit and from the breath of God. It reveals the sheep mentality from the goat mentality, a natural state of mind from a supernatural state of mind. It reveals the truth of God from the opinions of religion. This book takes you on a life-changing journey designed to impact humanity through all eternity. It is the truth that makes you free. It creates a wheel in the middle of a wheel. This book has understanding that creates a bridge over troubled waters, an ark of safety, and the Lord as our Shepherd.

That Jesus died to free us from the contaminations of a mindset that holds us captive to a natural world system. A system that dictates life to us, causing us to conform to a way of thinking that robs us of our created value. Therefore, causing the gift of life to be contrary to the existence that God created it to be. WE ARE LIVING A COUNTERFEIT LIFE

The New Entrepreneurs: An Institutional History of

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Kraszewski, Jon, PUBLISHER: Wesleyan University Press, According to the sociologist C. Wright Mills in his book, White Collar: The American Middle Classes, the "new entrepreneur" was a lone wolf able to succeed in post-World War II corporate America by elusively meandering through various institutions. During this time, anthology writers such as Rod Serling, Reginald Rose, and Paddy Chayefsky achieved a level of creativity that has rarely been equaled on television since. Yet despite their success, anthology writers still needed to evade the constraints and censorship of 50s television in order to stay true to their creative powers and political visions. Thus they worked as new entrepreneurs who adapted their more controversial scripts for the Hollywood, Broadway, and book publishing industries. Even after the television networks cancelled their prestigious anthology series at the end of the 50s, the most resilient writers were able to redefine what it meant to be entrepreneurs by launching cutting-edge shows such as The Twilight Zone and The Defenders that are still popular today. The New Entrepreneurs includes detailed textual analysis of legendary, sometimes hard-to-find, television anthology scripts that have received only cursory glances in television history until now.

Responsible Management of Information Systems

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Stahl, Bernd Carsten, PUBLISHER: IGI Global, Responsible Management of Information Systems discusses the question how can information systems be used and managed in a responsible manner. It does so by first defining the central concepts of information systems as the business use of information technology and the underlying concepts of ethics and morality. The term responsibility is introduced as a mediation of ethics and morality and a promising approach to normative questions. After demonstrating that the traditional notion of responsibility runs into many problems when applied to information systems the book develops a new, a reflective theory of responsibility. This theory that emphasizes the central characteristics of responsibility, namely openness, consequentialism, and teleology, is then applied to normative problems in information systems. It is shown that with the use of this theory the central moral and legal problems of information systems such as privacy or intellectual property can be successfully addressed.

Beyond Lament: Poets of the World Bearing Witness to the

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Striar, Marguerite M., PUBLISHER: Northwestern University Press, Challenging Theodor Adorno's famous statement that "writing poetry after Auschwitz is barbaric", Beyond Lament is a rich and varied anthology consisting of new and previously published poems about the atrocity of the Holocaust. While writing poetry about the Holocaust may be considered by some to be a futile attempt to express the inexpressible, for many the need to give voice to the anger and despair of the Holocaust is as essential as the need to come to grips with its unspeakable horror. Editor Marguerite M. Striar has arranged the nearly 300 poems in this volume to tell the story beginning with the early premonitions of Nazi evil in , through the course of the unthinkable violence that ended in with Hitler's demise, to the flourishing of concern for human rights in the aftermath of the Holocaust. These works -- by well-known poets such as Paul Celan, Nelly Sachs, Czeslaw Milosz, Dannie Abse, and Robert Pinsky, as well as by many lesser-known or unknown poets -- show how poetry makes history memorable, confirm the resilience of the human spirit, and prove that even in the face of great suffering, the flame of creation will not be extinguished.

The Mobile Wave: How Mobile Intelligence Will Change

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Saylor, Michael, PUBLISHER: Vanguard Press, In "The Fifth Wave," Michael Saylor argues that mobile intelligence is the fifth great computer wave and that the implications of the mobile devices we carry are just beginning to evolve. But mobile intelligence will be far more transformational than any other of the four computing waves that preceded it--mainframe, mini, PC, and PC with Internet--and it will create tremendous disruption for those who fail to grasp its significance and tremendous opportunities for those who do. Soon, it will be cheaper to learn to read with a tablet than paper, which means every literate person on the planet will have a mobile device from a younger age and will carry it with them everywhere their entire lives. Over five billion people will always be on the network. Mobile will turn retail into theater, make a Harvard-level education accessible to everyone, and bring the global information flow to the most backward village in Africa, leaving us amid so much information we'll need a new Google to search our surroundings. "The Fifth Wave" will distill a variety of changes in the global marketplace that we can all see and feel into a coherent framework for understanding the future that is about to unfold.

The Myth of Human Races

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Corcos, Alain F., PUBLISHER: Michigan State University Press, The idea that human races exist is a socially constructed myth that has no grounding in science. Regardless of skin, hair, or eye color, stature or physiognomy, we are all of one species. Nonetheless, scientists, social scientists, and pseudo-scientists have, for three centuries, tried vainly to prove that distinctive and separate "races" of humanity exist. These protagonists of race theory have based their flawed research on one or more of five specious assumptions: humanity can be classified into groups using identifiable physical characteristics human characteristics are transmitted "through the blood," distinct human physical characteristics are inherited together, physical features can be linked to human behavior, human groups or "races" are by their very nature unequal and, therefore, they can be ranked in order of intellectual, moral, and cultural superiority. The Myth of Human Races systematically dispels these fallacies and unravels the web of flawed research that has been woven to demonstrate the superiority of one group of people over another.
