![]() ![]() I feel really passionate about supporting businesses that are treating their employees well during this period of uncertainty and I have heard that here in the UK both Waterstones and WHSmith are doing right by their workers! Book Recommendations To Read During Lockdown However, I highly recommend supporting your local book shop if you can or a local chain. I’ve linked all of these on Amazon for ease when ordering right now, and so that it should automatically update to your location. So I asked on my Instagram for you to share your fave recent books and was inundated by recommendations…and requests to share the results. ![]() Whilst I think it’s important to stay on top of the news, I want a bit of an escape too. ![]() I don’t know about you, but I feel like I’m currently consuming TOO MUCH media right now which is adding to my anxiety at the moment. ![]() ![]() ![]() The book is a plea for understanding and acceptance for those of us who are, in Temple Grandin's words, "Different, not less." I definitely recommend this diagnosis memoir to any newly diagnosed adult Aspie (or individuals who suspect they may have Asperger's syndrome but have yet to seek a formal diagnosis). ![]() As the title suggests, Michelle's narratives give the reader a genuine sense of what it feels like to be an adult with Asperger's syndrome from a first person perspective, what it looks and feels like to try and navigate a neurotypical social world with an autistic brain. All of my closest friends today come from that core of fellow ASD adults I met in the support group meetings that I really clicked with, and I'm happy Michelle made a similar discovery. Likewise, finding an adult Aspie support group was a watershed moment for Michelle and one that I can relate to strongly as well. It took getting my diagnosis to finally understand the social mechanics of mutual misunderstandings as to why such things happen. ![]() Until I was diagnosed, I would have people in my life whom I felt were good friends, only to somehow manage to alienate and loose these friends, seemingly without warning. As an adult-diagnosed (age 39) Aspie myself, I found Michelle's workplace struggle narratives particularly compelling, as I myself have had similar experiences in my career, too. ![]() ![]() ![]() "The Hot Zone" involves two prominent Kansas State University veterinarians and leaders: Nancy and Jerry Jaax, both Doctor of Veterinary Medicine graduates in 19, respectively.Īfter graduating, the Jaaxes both served in medical defense with the U.S. "The Hot Zone" was inspired by the true story of the arrival of Ebola on U.S. The in-person lecture is only open to current veterinary medicine students, but it will also be made available on a limited basis through a livestream. 12, in the Boehringer Ingelheim Auditorium.

Although these tendencies have been criticized, there are, actually, good reasons why they arose. Second, even within this bilateral context, the emphasis is on American motivations and policy. First, it assumes that the Cold War was merely a name for a Soviet-American conflict played out on a global scale. The typology of Cold War historiography is necessarily simplified, but it does accurately portray two features of much of this work. Thesis At no time was the Cold War regarded as the sole component of the international system: Gaddis portrays that in each state, there were leaders who favored other views, championing, amongst others things, internal reform, national renewal, imperial consolidation or intra-capitalist competition. Nevertheless, it would seem that nuclear weapons made nuclear powers tactically cautious whilst increasing the sense of strategic threat. The caution of political leaders did not obviate the risk of reckless subordinates. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() 2: Truth & The Crew (With Ernie/Blerd Without Fear!)
