Описание: Autism Decoded: The Cracks in the Code Revised Edition 2017. This book is the first of an ambitious four part series - taking a light approach to a very controversial, weighty, and complex subject. Most importantly, it offers a glimpse into life with Autism through the accounts and perspective of the people who actually have Autism or Asperger's; giving a real insight into a world that is mostly unknown. Illustrated by personal accounts, film, and literature and the work of some of the great educators, physicians, psychologists, and researchers in the field The Cracks in the Code looks at autism both throughout history and into the present day; addressing topics like 1) When did ASD really begin, 2) Where have the undiagnosed been all the time before that, and 3) Why haven't we noticed them, This book provides a solid foundation for the rest of the series, offering views that will challenge the reader to assess their thinking, choose a position, and join the debate "Autism Decoded: The Cracks in the Code, is one of the best books I have read on autism, and I have read quite a few. ... As one reviewer wrote, "Through the cracks will come light ." Indeed, Stella will illuminate our understanding of autism one ray of sunlight at a time." Manuel F. Casanova

Описание: 'Buy, borrow or beg Keith Waterhouse's outstanding new novel. I can't recommend it too highly. Waterhouse has an uncanny gift for recapturing every attitude, agony and phrase of childhood and youth.' - Daily Mirror

'I wished I'd written Keith Waterhouse's first novel; and now, even more, I wish I'd written his second . . . Billy Liar is very funny: funny in a wild and sardonic and high-spirited way without malice or cruelty.' - John Braine, author of Room at the Top

'A brilliant novel, in language fresh and sweet, with characters vivid and singular in an inventive and dynamic story. It teems, it bursts with originality.' - Saturday Review

'Extremely funny . . . its lambent humour, quick-changing from robust to the delicate, is always fresh . . . should gladden the hearts of even the most exacting readers.' - Daily Telegraph

Billy Fisher feels trapped by his working-class parents, his unfulfilling job as an undertaker's clerk, and his life in a dull, provincial town. His only refuge is in his daydreams, where he is the leader of the country of Ambrosia. Unfortunately, Billy's wild imagination leads him to tell lies constantly: to his parents, his employer, and his three girlfriends. On one tragi-comic Saturday, as Billy plots his escape to a life of adventure and excitement in London, all his lies finally catch up with him, with hilarious and disastrous results. A smash bestseller and one of the great comic novels of the 20th century, Billy Liar (1959) inspired an award-winning film, a play, a musical, a television series, and a sequel. This edition marks the novel's first publication in America in more than fifty years and includes a new introduction by Nick Bentley and a reproduction of the original jacket art by William Belcher.
