The World of Deaf Infants

A Longitudinal Study

By: Kathryn P. Meadow-Orlans,Patricia Elizabeth Spencer,Lynne Sanford Koester

What is the impact of an infant's diminished hearing on the infant and its parents? How does communication develop in cases of diminished hearing? How does diminished hearing affect social and cognitive development? What types of early interventions can improve communication and development in infants with diminished hearing? The World of Deaf Infants presents the results of a 15-year research study that addresses these questions. Through their research, perhaps the largest, long-term comparison of deaf and hearing infants, Meadow-Orlans's team provides a comprehensive and intimate look into the world of deaf infants. For a core group of 80 families that includs all four combinations of parent-infant hearing status, data was collected longitudinally at 9, 12, 15, and 18 months, and mother-infant interactions were recorded and observed in both structured and unstructured settings. Mothers' facial, vocal, and tactile behaviors during interactions were related to infants' temperament and stress; mothers' linguistic and communication behaviors, as well as their overall responsiveness, were related to children's language; and the effects of support provided to mothers were evaluated and explored. The results were dramatic, particularly those on infant attachment behaviors and the importance of visual attention to the overall development of deaf infants. This comprehensive work provides a foundation on which researchers, teachers, students, and parents can build to improve communication, cognitive and social development, and to enhance the world of deaf infants.

The Defiant Life of Vera Figner

Surviving the Russian Revolution

By: Lynne Ann Hartnett

A “riveting” biography of a Russian noblewoman turned revolutionary terrorist and accomplice in the assassination of a tsar (The Soviet and Post-Soviet Review). Born in 1852 in the last years of serfdom, Vera Figner came of age as Imperial Russian society was being rocked by the massive upheaval that culminated in the Bolshevik revolution of 1917. At first a champion of populist causes and women’s higher education, which she herself pursued as a medical student in Zurich, Figner later became a leader of the terrorist party the People’s Will—and was an accomplice in the assassination of Tsar Alexander II in 1881. Drawing on extensive archival research and careful reading of Figner’s copious memoirs, Lynne Ann Hartnett reveals how Figner survived the Bolshevik revolution and Stalin's Great Purges and died a lionized revolutionary legend as the Nazis bore down on Moscow in 1942.

Oh, Lord, I Sound Just Like Mama

By: Lynne Alpern,Esther Blumenfeld

NO MATTER HOW MUCH WE LOVE HER, most of us swear to ourselves that we're never going to be anything like Mother. But sooner or later, we discover that we have inherited not only her voice and eyes and curly hair, but her habits and philosophies are beginning to show through as well. And finally, the worse of all--we say something that makes us put our heads in our hands and acknowledge the truth: we sound just like Mama. In Oh, Lord, I Sound Just Like Mama, Alpern and Blumenfeld have pulled together a hilarious collection of quotes and anecdotes from every sort of mother (and daughter). There's the chapter on children, in which one exhausted mother says, "I pray for boredom, but it never comes." In the chapter on marriage, one mother says, "All I ever got out of this marriage was dishes, grease, and garbage--and, of course, my children." Still another woman tells her daughter: "My wedding was not mine, it was my mother's. Yours will be mine." There's also a section on the sayings and recollections of such famous daughters and mothers as Julia Child, Phyllis Diller, Helen Gurley Brown, Roberta Flack, Glenda Jackson, Madeline Kahn, Loretta Lynn, Liz Carpenter, Helen Hayes, and many more. Full of fun and nostalgia, this is the perfect gift book to be give to Mother and from Mother.

The Unknown Gulag

The Lost World of Stalin's Special Settlements

By: Lynne Viola

One of Stalin's most heinous acts was the ruthless repression of millions of peasants in the early 1930s, an act that established the very foundations of the gulag. Now, with the opening of Soviet archives, an entirely new dimension of Stalin's brutality has been uncovered.

Gender and housing in Soviet Russia

Gender and housing in Soviet Russia

Private life in a public space

By: Lynne Attwood

This book explores the housing problem throughout the 70 years of Soviet history, looking at changing political ideology on appropriate forms of housing under socialism, successive government policies on housing, and the meaning and experience of ‘home’ for Soviet citizens. She examines the use of housing to alter gender relations, and the ways in which domestic space was differentially experienced by men and women. Much of Attwood’s material comes from Soviet magazines and journals, which enables her to demonstrate how official ideas on housing and daily life changed during the course of the Soviet era, and were propagandised to the population. Through a series of in-depth interviews, she also draws on the memories of people with direct experience of Soviet housing and domestic life. Attwood has produced not just a history of housing, but a social history of daily life which will appeal both to scholars and those with a general interest in Soviet history.

From Disability to Diversity

College Success for Students with Learning Disabilities, ADHD, and Autism Spectrum Disorder

By: Lynne C. Shea,Linda Hecker,Adam R. Lalor

Colleges and universities are seeing increasing numbers of students with a range of disabilities enrolling in postsecondary education. Many of these disabilities are invisible and, despite their potential for negative impact on students’ academic and social adjustment, some students will choose not to identify as having a disability or request support. Approaching disability from the perspective of difference, the authors of this new volume offer guidance on creating more inclusive learning environments on campus so that all students—whether or not they have a recognized disability—have the opportunity to succeed. Strategies for supporting students with specific learning disabilities, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, autism spectrum disorder or who display learning and behavioral characteristics associated with these profiles are described. A valuable resource for instructors, advisors, academic support personnel, and others who work directly with college students.
