Autism Through the Lifespan
For more than twenty years, The Eden Family of Services in Princeton, New Jersey, has provided comprehensive behaviourally based services for children with autism. Now Eden's founding director, David L. Holmes writes about autism and the specialised programmes offered at Eden in Autism Through the Lifespan, explaining how Eden's theories and practices can be replicated in other communities. One of the most distinct philosophies of the Eden Model and the book's focus is the concept of 'lifespan services', meaning people in the programme will receive continuous services as needed, over their lifetime.

Let Me Sing You Gentle Songs
A stunning first novel that was to become an international bestseller. Veronika, a writer in her early thirties, rents a house in the Swedish countryside to finish her novel. She is also cocooning herself from her past. She befriends Astrid, a reclusive older woman who has lived in the village all her life. Olsson leads us through the flowering of their unusual and tender friendship, as they slowly and carefully reveal their life histories and sometimes heart-rending pasts. The Swedish landscape is always a powerful presence and measures the progress of the women's relationship; as the icy winter and bare trees give way to spring and then summer, the women's friendship deepens. Also available as an eBook

Wolferman begins by relaying how the trustees of the estates of the reclusive widow Mary Atkins and the family of Kansas City Star newspaper editor William Rockhill Nelson joined forces to establish a museum from scratch, then g...
Within Her Power
This is an engaging and comprehensive study of property-owning women in the colony of Tidewater, VA during the 17th & 18th centuries. It examines the social restrictions on women's behaviour and speech, opportunities and difficulties these women encountered in the legal system, the economic and discretionary authority they enjoyed, the roles they played in the family business,their roles in the later, trans-Atlantic trading framework, and the imperial context within which these colonial women lived, making this a welcome addition to both colonial and women's history.
