Threshold : terminal lucidity and the border of life and death / by Batthyany, Alexander,author.(CARDINAL)877891;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 221-226) and index."Dr. Alexander Batthyány's Threshold is the first major account of terminal lucidity: the remarkable return of clarity and cognition at the end of life. Terminal lucidity is a relatively common but poorly understood phenomenon. Near the end of life, many people--including those who are comatose, or have suffered brain injuries or strokes, or have been silenced by mental illness or deep dementia--experience what seems a miraculous return. They regain their clarity and energy, are able to talk with families and caregivers, recall their lives, and in some cases report conversations and details that occurred while they were unconscious or seemingly unaware of their surroundings. In this remarkable book, cognitive scientist and Director of the Viktor Frankl Institute and Viktor Frankl Archives, Dr. Alexander Batthyány offers the first major account of terminal lucidity, utilizing hundreds of case studies to explore the mind, the body, the nature of consciousness, and what the living can learn from those who are crossing the border from life to death. Astonishing, authoritative, and deeply moving, Threshold opens a doorway into one of life's--and death's--most provocative mysteries"--

Language at the speed of sight : how we read, why so many can't, and what can be done about it / by Seidenberg, Mark S.,author.(CARDINAL)729804;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 343-361) and index."In Language at the Speed of Sight, internationally renowned cognitive scientist Mark Seidenberg reveals the underexplored science of reading, which spans cognitive science, neurobiology, and linguistics. As Seidenberg shows, the disconnect between science and education is a major factor in America's chronic underachievement. How we teach reading places many children at risk of failure, discriminates against poorer kids, and discourages even those who could have become more successful readers. Children aren't taught basic print skills because educators cling to the disproved theory that good readers guess the words in texts, a strategy that encourages skimming instead of close reading. Interventions for children with reading disabilities are delayed because parents are mistakenly told their kids will catch up if they work harder. Learning to read is more difficult for children who speak a minority dialect in the home, but that is not reflected in classroom practices. By building on science's insights, we can improve how our children read, and take real steps toward solving the inequality that illiteracy breeds."-from Amazon
