Summary:

Our future is in jeopardy and our gifted children are our best hope for solving the myriad problems humanity faces. Within the gifted world is a large population of children whose giftedness remains unrecognized and undeveloped because they are also diagnosed with one or more developmental or learning disorders. These children are known as Twice Exceptional (or 2e)individuals who are gifted and also have a physical or mental impairment. In some cases, a childs disability masks his giftedness, causing educators and other adults in the childs life to focus on his weaknesses rather than developing his talents. In other cases, a childs giftedness can mask her disability, meaning she wont receive the special education services that could help her manage and possibly overcome her disability. This misperception impacts 2e children because they remain trapped in a never-ending cycle of chasing a diagnosis to explain their weaknesses instead of having the world recognize and cultivate the tremendous gifts they have to offer. Today's 2e kids are our next Albert Einsteins, Isaac Newtons, and Bill Gatesesand we need to find them and nurture their enormous talents. Bright Not Broken shows readers how to identify a twice-exceptional child understand these misunderstood kidsand comprehend why it can be such a labyrinth to get a correct diagnosis support 2e kids success at school and at home

Title: Philosophy in The Twilight Zone

Author: Lester H. Hunt, Noel Carroll

Narrator: Ax Norman

Format: Unabridged

Length: 07:35:35

Language: English

Release date: 07-20-20

Publisher: Tantor Media

Genres: Non-Fiction, Philosophy

Summary:

Lauded by fans and critics alike, Rod Serling's groundbreaking The Twilight Zone series is one of pop culture's most enduring icons. By exploring the fantastical depths of the unknown, the 156 original episodes (1959-64) continue to hold viewers spellbound. While the stories embrace elements of the supernatural, they were also quite consciously intended to enlighten the public on a broad range of philosophical issues - often by violating conventions of classical narration (to say nothing of the laws of physics). Philosophy in The Twilight Zone delves deeply into the complex philosophical strands woven throughout the series - issues including skepticism, the ethics of war and peace, and the nature of privacy, personal dignity, knowledge, love, happiness, and justice. A collection of original essays by leading philosophical scholars focus on individual or pairs of episodes or examine broader philosophical themes raised in the series. An illuminating critical and biographical introduction to series creator and principle writer Rod Serling is also 'submitted for your approval.' Philosophy in The Twilight Zone is a thought-provoking journey into the philosophical landscape of a series that did indeed take us into a dimension not only of sight and sound - but of mind.

Summary:

From the Preface: 'My name is Flora Jessop. Ive been called apostate, vigilante, and crazy bitch, and maybe I am. But some people call me a hero, and Id like to think theyre right too. If I am a hero, maybe its because every time I can play a part in saving a child or a woman from a life of servitude and degradation, Im saving a little piece of me, too. I was one of twenty-eight children born to my dad and his three wives. Indoctrinated to believe that the outside world was evil, and that Iresided among the righteous, I was destined to marry a man chosen for me by the Prophet. I would then live in harmony with my sister-wives, bear many children, and obey and serve my future husband in this life and throughout eternity. But my innocence didnt last long. While still a child, I understood that the church of the righteous was nothing but a church of lies. When I was eight years old myfather sexually molested me for the first time, rapingme when I was twelve. I tried to kill myself. Beaten, molested, taunted, and abused by family members alleging they only wanted to save my soul became a daily routine, I ran from this abuse more than once in my early teenseven attempting to cross the desert on foot. My family hunted me down. I thought government agencies would provide me safety if I reported my father. Instead, police and social services colluded with the FLDS to return me to my family and I ended up back inside polygamy, right where I started.' Flora goes on from there to tell the dramatic true story of how sheultimately escaped and has been fighting against frustrating obstacles with hard fought successesin rescuing women and children fromthe FLDS. It's a story you can't put down.
