The Alzheimer Conundrum

Entanglements of Dementia and Aging

By: Margaret Lock

Why our approaches to Alzheimer's and dementia are problematic and contradictory Due to rapidly aging populations, the number of people worldwide experiencing dementia is increasing, and the projections are grim. Despite billions of dollars invested in medical research, no effective treatment has been discovered for Alzheimer's disease, the most common form of dementia. The Alzheimer Conundrum exposes the predicaments embedded in current efforts to slow down or halt Alzheimer’s disease through early detection of pre-symptomatic biological changes in healthy individuals. Based on a meticulous account of the history of Alzheimer’s disease and extensive in-depth interviews, Margaret Lock highlights the limitations and the dissent associated with biomarker detection. Lock argues that basic research must continue, but should be complemented by a public health approach to prevention that is economically feasible, more humane, and much more effective globally than one exclusively focused on an increasingly harried search for a cure.

Where Stillness Speaks

Where Stillness Speaks

By: Margaret C. Price

WHERE STILLNESS SPEAKS, Inspired by original Shaker journals By Margaret C. Price Experiencing a mystical flight through time to a Shaker utopia (Civil War, 1863), an investigative journalist discovers a secret that frees her from demons of her past, empowering her to speak her truth in WHERE STILLNESS SPEAKS, historical fiction. The novel unfolds a woman’s transformational healing journey in two different time periods. Present day at the authentically restored Shaker village of Pleasant Hill, and the Past, a short time after the horrific battle of Perryville. WHERE STILLNESS SPEAKS is a love story played out against the backdrop of a Shaker utopia. It is a utopia of time-travel, of places where the skin between the worlds is thin, a place apart from modern day chaos and violence. The core values of the Shaker utopia (respect for the earth, pacifism, racial and sexual equality, belief in a spirit world) resonate still today. The novel invites the reader to Pleasant Hill where Trappist monk Thomas Merton wandered among the abandoned buildings and “listened to the Silence” while sitting on a chair made by someone “perfectly capable of believing an Angel could come and sit down on it.”

Dyslexia

A History

By: Philip Kirby,Margaret J. Snowling

In 1896 the British physician William Pringle Morgan published an account of “Percy,” a “bright and intelligent boy, quick at games, and in no way inferior to others of his age.” Yet, in spite of his intelligence, Percy had great difficulty learning to read. Percy was one of the first children to be described as having word-blindness, better known today as dyslexia. In this first comprehensive history of dyslexia Philip Kirby and Margaret Snowling chart a journey that begins with Victorian medicine and continues to dyslexia’s current status as the most globally recognized specific learning difficulty. In an engaging narrative style, Kirby and Snowling tell the story of dyslexia, examining its origins and revealing the many scientists, teachers, and campaigners who put it on the map. Through this history they explain current debates over the diagnosis of dyslexia and its impact on learning. For those who have lived experience of dyslexia, professionals who have supported them, and scholars of social history, education, psychology, and childhood studies, Dyslexia reflects on the place of literacy in society – whom it has benefited, and whom it has left behind.

Loyalty and Loss

Alabama's Unionists in the Civil War and Reconstruction

By: Margaret M. Storey

Though slavery was widespread and antislavery sentiment rare in Alabama, there emerged a small loyalist population, mostly in the northern counties, that persisted in the face of overwhelming odds against their cause. Margaret M. Storey’s welcome study uncovers and explores those Alabamians who maintained allegiance to the Union when their state seceded in 1861—and beyond. Storey’s extensive, groundbreaking research discloses a socioeconomically diverse group that included slaveholders and nonslaveholders, business people, professionals, farmers, and blacks. By considering the years 1861–1874 as a whole, she clearly connects loyalists’ sometimes brutal wartime treatment with their postwar behavior.

Migration to South Carolina

Movement from New England and Mid-Atlantic States, 1850 Census

By: Margaret Peckham Motes

Mrs. Motes continues her efforts to stratify by ethnic groups the population of South Carolina at the taking of the 1850 federal census. This volume, her third based upon the 1850 census, specifies about 2,600 persons of New England or Mid-Atlantic birth who were living in South Carolina in that census year. The census enumerators found approximately 2,600 of these Yankees living in South Carolina in 1850, two-thirds of them from the Mid-Atlantic region. Mrs. Motes transcribed her information from thirteen reels of microfilm covering the 29 South Carolina counties in 1850. She has arranged those findings in alphabetical order by surname. Each individual is identified by age, sex, occupation, country of birth, county of residence, and household enumeration number. Individuals living in another family's household are further identified according to the name of the household head, even if a native Carolinian. The front matter to the book includes a helpful author's preface and a list of South Carolina county codes. The volume concludes with indexes to names, places, and occupation.
