Isabel
Isabel's World
    When the author's
    daughter Isabel was
    diagnosed with autism in
    1994, he knew nothing
    about it. Driven to learn
    more about this dramatic
    increase, he sets forth
    on a journey around the
    world and makes a
    surprising discovery
    about the autism epidemic
    that would change both
    his understanding of the
    disorder and his
    relationship with his
    daughter.

Moral Power
Moral Power
    Neither power nor
    morality but both. Moral
    power is what the Sukuma
    from Tanzania in times of
    crisis attribute to an
    unknown figure they call
    their witch. A universal
    process is involved, as
    much bodily as social,
    which obstructs the
    patient's recovery. This
    book shows how to
    comprehend culture other
    than through the prism of
    identity and politics.
