Book excerpt: "Nowhere did two understandings of U.S. identity—human rights and anticommunism—come more in conflict with each other than they did in Latin America. To refocus U.S. policy on human rights and democracy required a rethinking of U.S. policy as a whole. It required policy makers to choose between policies designed to defeat communism at any cost and those that remain within the bounds of the rule of law."—from the Introduction Kathryn Sikkink believes that the adoption of human rights policy represents a positive change in the relationship between the United States and Latin America. In Mixed Signals she traces a gradual but remarkable shift in U.S. foreign policy over the last generation. By the 1970s, an unthinking anticommunist stance had tarnished the reputation of the U.S. government throughout Latin America, associating Washington with tyrannical and often brutally murderous regimes. Sikkink recounts the reemergence of human rights as a substantive concern, showing how external pressures from activist groups and the institution of a human rights bureau inside the State Department have combined to remake Washington's agenda, and its image, in Latin America. The current war against terrorism, Sikkink warns, could repeat the mistakes of the past unless we insist that the struggle against terrorism be conducted with respect for human rights and the rule of law.

Book Synopsis Mixed Signals by : Mary Lashno

Download or read book Mixed Signals written by Mary Lashno. This book was released on 2010. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mary Lashno, an occupational therapist at the Kennedy Krieger Institute in Baltimore, Maryland, shares her extensive experience working with children who don't process sensory information properly. Her new book educates parents about why some children's sensory systems experience are over- or under-stimulated and what can be done to treat the condition so children can learn and be a part of daily activities. This book also helps parents to recognise when behaviour is a characteristic of another condition, such as autism or Down syndrome, and when it's due to poor sensory processing. With the help of case studies, the author provides many examples of how children with poor sensory processing react differently to sensory input -- staring into lights, avoiding face-washing or brushing teeth, seeming overly clumsy -- than children with normal sensory systems. Parents learn how to interpret behaviours and detect when a child may be over-stimulated or under-stimulated. A discussion of strategies and interventions explains how therapists and families can work with children to help develop an individualised sensory diet to calm or awaken sensory receptors so kids can function better and begin to tolerate a wider range of sensory information. Topics covered include: Terminology of sensory processing; Normal vs. abnormal sensory processing; Evaluating your child's sensory system; Assessment tools; Sensory Integration Therapy -- what it is and how it works; Treatment approaches; Establishing and managing your child's sensory diet. This guide is useful to families of children with a variety of diagnoses, deficits, and skills. You'll be better able to understand your child's sometimes perplexing behaviour as well as be a part of the therapeutic process in conjunction with trained professionals. Buy a copy to share with a teacher, coach, or therapist so everyone can get involved!

Book excerpt: When corporate banker Julie Laurich gets stuck in traffic beside the man of her dreams and promptly forgets how to use adult words, it's typical. When the universe merges their lanes again and she runs into him a second time at the gym, it's anything other than matter-of-course. The adorably sexy guy in the black truck proves Nico Farfalla could have been the perfect candidate for a hot rebound. That is, until he opens his mouth... Julie doesn't even know him and already she pre-hates him. And because her universe is apparently blind to all the warning signs, Nico's chances keep on coming. Their paths continue to cross, and soon Julie discovers he is not what she thought. As much as she doesn't want to put any stock into Nico's words, every second she spends with him blurs the lines. Before long Julie's attempts to keep her distance from Nico and focus on work are blocked when she's assigned to his elementary school classroom for a community program. Their chemistry is undeniable and unyielding. So when the opportunity for a major promotion in a new city lands in her lap, Julie must decide: Is a love she never saw coming worth the risk of her career?

Book excerpt: "This is friends-to-lovers romance…but it's in the science-fiction story line where Cole really shines. The setup of Mixed Signals seems eerily plausible, and the entwined love story will satisfy sci-fi and romance readers alike." —New York Times bestselling author Sarah MacLean, Washington Journal, Best Romances of November 2015 Four years after the Flare, the world is finally starting to rebuild For Maggie Seong, that means leaving the safety of her family's cabin for college. She won't be alone, though—hunky former military cadet Edwin Hernandez, family friend and self-appointed Protector of Maggie's Virtue, will be there. Maggie would much prefer that Edwin himself dispose of her "innocence," but he's already rejected her advances once, and a girl has her pride. Things look pretty bleak romance-wise until Maggie discovers that Devon, the pre-Flare internet boyfriend she'd assumed was dead, is not only alive but on campus. Despite the passage of time, their bond is strong, and they quickly pick up where they left off. Even as Devon aims for a chance at love IRL—everything Maggie thought she'd wanted—Edwin's desire to protect her makes her question her heart. Maggie's torn between the future she didn't dare to hope for and the past she can't let go of. And when a group of neo-Luddite terrorists threaten the campus, everyone's loyalties will be tested. To ensure that the world doesn't go back to the dark days following the Flare, Maggie might have to sacrifice it all. Book three of Off the Grid.
