Dancing with Autism
Kristi Lyn Stewart is the mother of five children, one of whom has autism. In this positive portrayal of life raising a child with autism, Kristi Stewart takes us through myriad emotions, ending ultimately with the message that while there are hefty mountains to climb, the view when reaching the top is vast and breathtaking. She is clear, however, that the summit isn't necessarily recovering your child, but rather finding peace within yourself and discovering happiness that results in making the most of the victories even if they're seemingly small along the journey. Leeann Whiffen, Author of A Child's Journey Out of Autism This is the first book on autism I've read that both uplifed and represented me! Mrs. Stewart allows the outside world to peer through the window of our homes and feel some of the truly unique experiences we have raising our children with autism. Kathy Healey, mother of a child with autism.
Blood Revenge
Blood Revenge examines the first time that white men in Australia were held to account in a criminal court of New South Wales for killing Aborigines. It happened in 1799, just 11 years after the New South Wales colony began. This book answers the disturbing question: Why were five men found guilty of killing two Aborigines, yet they were never punished? The story lays bare the nature of black-white relations at the colony's Hawkesbury River frontier settlement, when Governor John Hunter tried to carry out his orders and stop the wanton killing of Aborigines.

Women, Work, and the French State
In France, during the 1880s and 1890s, the protection of women and girls in the workplace was advocated by sociologists, social economists, union leaders, enlightened industrialists, and politicians of virtually every ideological hue. In response, laws were enacted restricting not only the number of hours and the time of day that women could work but also their access to dangerous trades. Mary Lynn Stewart argues that these restrictions, though initiated to protect women and girls, were actually a method of exploiting women's dual role of short-time wage worker and unpaid housewife and mother.
