makes a big, scary production out of everything As an autistic adult, I'd much prefer that people read The Intuitive Parent: Why the Best Thing for Your Child Is You. I'm doing "better than expected" for someone with autism. I made it to my 30s without having a diagnosis. I think I turned out OK because my childhood did NOT resemble ABA whatsoever. However, I grew up in a family where my mom didn't work, so she read to me A LOT when I was young. All kinds of lessons on how to not make a scene in public in The Berenstain Bears. I was allowed to line up cars around the dining room table to my heart's content, as long as it wasn't dinnertime.This book is written by an autism researcher, who perhaps lacks the empathy to see how scary sentences like this will be for people who don't have PhDs and aren't used to being in charge:"The intervention program should be designed and overseen by a trained, professional, interdisciplinary team."I think this book would increase parental anxiety beyond all reason, and that's terrible for children.Talk to your child like a normal person, especially about feelings and what other people are thinking and feeling. Be a good example in your daily life (this can't be faked). I think parents might be better served by doing therapy THEMSELVES before making their kids do anything. Realistically, your average person believes all kinds of damaging myths about autism, which will negatively impact their parenting. I KNOW this is true, because I thought I coudn't be autistic that whole time because I'm an empathetic and emotionally sensitive person. Later I learned that "intense world theory" is probably more true than whatever you've heard.I like being autistic. It would be IMPOSSIBLE to develop a healthy self-concept from reading what "experts" say about autism. It's all so condescending and pejorative.If you're interested in this book, please understand that non-autistic people are EQUALLY IMPAIRED at understanding the nonverbal communication of autistic people. I can't tell you how many videos I've seen on YouTube where a parent is talking like their kid isn't even there, and I can see all the distress in their rocking and other stims. Really, everyone can either generalize from themselves or use logic to reason about people different from themselves. Non-autistic people often don't have to develop the latter ability very much, because they're surrounded by people similar to themselves. This is a blind spot of non-autistic people.Also note that self-injury and poor theory-of-mind are ALSO something that happens because of childhood trauma. Borderline personality disorder comes from "a sensitive child in an invalidating environment," which might as well be the definition of autism. We're not going to receive normal parental mirroring of our emotions unless our parents are also autistic. We can totally pick up on all the things you think we don't know about how burdensome and awful you think autism is and how we're some kind of curse put there by God to test you. If you think those things, that's traumatizing. I'm very skeptical that autism necessarily requires all these "problem behaviors."I noticed that this book mentioned every kind of intervention and specialist, but not psychotherapy for the child. I can say that it sucks being treated like an Untouchable and I've needed years of therapy.Just play with your child, pay attention to them, and treat them like a human instead of a dog you're training. It will be OK.Invaluable resource in a sea of information I was just saying, why isn't there a handbook that comes with a diagnosis? This is about as close as it gets. But my GOSH it chaps my ass when authors of parenting books always assume the parents are married. An entire section on taking care of your spouse and nill on handling the news with your ex-spouse, ex-S.O. or co-parent - 32% of families do not have married parents... it seems like something small to pick at but I'm hoping they see this and catch up to the times so everyone feels included. My son's dad and I have therapists to help us cope, but most people aren't so fortunate and need to hear it in places like this.Highly recommend to parents with young children with Autism! An amazing resource!! Every parent who has a young child with autism needs this! I practiced ABA using the early start Denver model by sally rogers and highly recommend this book to parents! It helps promoting play skills, communication, and ways for parents to connect with their children!

The Curse of Bigness Free Pdf

ISBN: 0999745468
Title: The Curse of Bigness Pdf Antitrust in the New Gilded Age
Author: Tim Wu
Published Date: 2018-11-13
Page: 170

"As Tim Wu argues in The Curse of Bigness, global economic concentration is now at levels unseen in more than a century -- since the early days of industrial capitalism. A policy advocate and law professor at Columbia University, Wu offers a vital diagnosis: America has abandoned its rich tradition of anti-monopoly, or antitrust, law. And while the very term 'antitrust' may strike many as dreadfully dry, Wu manages to make this brisk and impressively readable overview of the subject vivid and compelling." -- The Washington Post"It's a big idea for a little book, but Wu knows how to keep everything concise and contained. The Curse of Bigness moves nimbly through the thicket, embracing the boons of being small." -- Jennifer Szalai, The New York Times"Sweeping in scope, The Curse of Bigness is probably the best popular account of the history of American antitrust law and policy. It captures the stakes in the battle for antitrust―and it cuts to the heart of one of the central questions of our time: Can democracy survive?"--The New Republic"Tim Wu's short and sharp new book, The Curse of Bigness, is an excellent primer for anyone who wants to understand why corporate wealth and power have grown so concentrated in the past four decades, and why that might be a problem for democracy." -- Rana Foroohar, Financial Times"Mr. Wu writes with elegance, conviction, knowledge -- and certitude." -- Richard A. Epstein, The Wall Street Journal"Tim Wu, in his book The Curse of Bigness, which is a cool 160 pages and politely holds the reader’s hand through about 200 years of American economic policy and practice, argues that the time is now, 'to control economic structure before it controls us.'" -- VOX"Tim Wu has pulled off an incredible feat―he’s written a short, compelling book on antitrust....Wu skillfully avoids economic and legal rabbit holes, keeping the book laser-focused on his thesis: that antitrust enforcement must be restored 'as a check on power as necessary in a functioning democracy before it's too late.' Persuasive and brilliantly written, the book is especially timely given the rise of trillion-dollar tech companies." -- Publishers Weekly"A brief diagnosis of our monopolized moment and an eloquent articulation of principles that Wu believes can lead us into an era of shared prosperity, economic and political independence, and, in the words of Brandeis, 'the right to live, and not merely to exist.'”--The American Conservative"Several books have been written about monopoly over the past few years, and several more are still to come. But none are as succinct and pointed as The Curse of Bigness: Antitrust In The New Gilded Age, the new book from Tim Wu, the Columbia University law professor and former Federal Trade Commission advisor perhaps best known for coining the phrase “net neutrality." - Global Competition Review"The Curse of Bigness is a useful guide to the evils of privatized scale... A revitalization of aggressive trustbusting is as radical a proposal as could be taken seriously in the short term, and Wu charts a clear path to temporarily forestall the social ills of an oligarchic private tech industry."―Dissent Magazine800-CEO-Reads Editor's Choice for November 2018 Tim Wu is a policy advocate, a professor at Columbia Law School and a contributing opinion writer for The New York Times. He is best known for coining the phrase "net neutrality." He worked on competition policy in the Obama White House and the Federal Trade Commission, served as senior enforcement counsel at the New York Office of the Attorney General, and worked at the Supreme Court for Justice Stephen Breyer. His previous books are The Master Switch: The Rise and Fall of Information Empires and The Attention Merchants: The Epic Scramble to Get Inside our Heads.

"Persuasive and brilliantly written, the book is especially timely given the rise of trillion-dollar tech companies."--Publishers Weekly

From the man who coined the term "net neutrality," author of The Master Switch and The Attention Merchants, comes a warning about the dangers of excessive corporate and industrial concentration for our economic and political future.

We live in an age of extreme corporate concentration, in which global industries are controlled by just a few giant firms -- big banks, big pharma, and big tech, just to name a few. But concern over what Louis Brandeis called the "curse of bigness" can no longer remain the province of specialist lawyers and economists, for it has spilled over into policy and politics, even threatening democracy itself. History suggests that tolerance of inequality and failing to control excessive corporate power may prompt the rise of populism, nationalism, extremist politicians, and fascist regimes. In short, as Wu warns, we are in grave danger of repeating the signature errors of the twentieth century.

In The Curse of Bigness, Columbia professor Tim Wu tells of how figures like Brandeis and Theodore Roosevelt first confronted the democratic threats posed by the great trusts of the Gilded Age--but the lessons of the Progressive Era were forgotten in the last 40 years. He calls for recovering the lost tenets of the trustbusting age as part of a broader revival of American progressive ideas as we confront the fallout of persistent and extreme economic inequality.

An important argument, wonderfully written Tim Wu is spot-on. We are CITIZENS, not merely "consumers." And, large corporation should not be permitted to become more powerful than government (e.g., "regulatory capture," and market domination). I love it when I get a book that compels me to read straight through. I commend this book to everyone who cares about the continuation of our democracy (notwithstanding that I fear he's swimming against a very strong tide of economic hegemony and increasing autocracy).Great histories of Brandeis and Robert Bork, btw.Here's one way to address economic inequality The Curse of Bigness highlights one of the most significant policy questions facing American society. The author, Columbia University law professor Tim Wu, insists it's time to restore America's lost commitment to the antitrust legislation passed in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Break up big corporations, he urges, since the increasing concentration of wealth in fewer and fewer hands has enabled the superrich to get their way with Congress and frustrate the popular will. Nothing less than the integrity of our democratic system is at stake, Wu contends. "[E]xtreme economic concentration yields gross inequality and material suffering, feeding an appetite for nationalistic and extremist leadership," he writes. In other words, Wu is suggesting nothing less than that vigorous antitrust action might go to the roots of today's extreme politics.Taking action against the "malefactors of great wealth"Defenders of tax cuts for the rich and corporate welfare will no doubt howl in protest at Wu's thesis. But it's difficult to see how they could logically refute his argument or disprove it on historical grounds. In The Curse of Bigness, Wu traces the history of antitrust from the passage of the Sherman Act in 1890 to the present. He argues that once Theodore Roosevelt ascended to the White House and launched the antitrust movement with an attack on the Northern Securities Company, public sentiment shifted decisively in favor of taking action against what the President called "the malefactors of great wealth."Roosevelt saw antitrust not just as an economic policy but as a political necessity. Monopolists ("the trusts") wielded such power that they were able to dictate policy decisions to Congress. Thus, democracy was in peril since the trusts were able to lord it over the economy. Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis called it the "Curse of Bigness." And Wu cites Brandeis' writing as central to the thinking that dominated US antitrust policy until the 1970s.Brandeis once said, "The 'right to life' guaranteed by our Constitution" should be understood as "the right to live, and not merely to exist. In order to live men must have the opportunity of developing their faculties; and they must live under conditions in which their faculties may develop naturally and healthily." Clearly, this is a conviction not shared by the leadership of today's Republican Party.Break up big corporations to restore democracy?It wasn't until the 1970s that a legal attack on antitrust led by Robert Bork began pushing against the antimonopoly sentiment that had prevailed since the turn of the century. Bork's crusade, abetted by increasingly sympathetic judges, yielded a series of landmark decisions in Federal courts. In the decades that followed, these cases undermined the ability of the Justice Department to take action against monopolistic corporations. His argument rested on what can only be a willful misreading of the Sherman Act. Bork insisted the only justification for an antitrust prosecution was if monopolists were charging higher prices and thus harming consumers. He rejected any argument that antitrust action could rest on anything but the narrowest economic grounds. And Bork prevailed. When George W. Bush entered the White House, antitrust had become effectively a dead letter."[D]uring the Bush years," Wu observes, "the anti-monopoly provisions of the Sherman Act went into a deep freeze from which they have never really recovered . . . [T]he Bush Justice Department proceeded to bring a grand total of zero anti-monopoly antitrust cases over a period of eight years, and did not block any major mergers." Antitrust action resumed under Barack Obama and would have continued in earnest under Hillary Clinton. And Donald Trump claims to be taking antitrust "very seriously."Two big antitrust actions in the 1980s and 90sIt's true, as Wu makes abundantly clear, that two major antitrust prosecutions took place in the 1980s and 1990s. Under Ronald Reagan, the Justice Department sued to break up AT&T, then the largest private company in the world. But the case never went to court, as AT&T eventually consented to the breakup. Then, in the Bill Clinton era, Microsoft came under the microscope. The case was still in court in 2000 when George W. Bush was elected by the Supreme Court's Bush v. Gore decision. Bush's Justice Department essentially dropped the case, settling for what have since been viewed as cosmetic changes.The problem doesn't lie just with the tech industryThese days, most of the little talk in the air about antitrust involves the tech industry: Apple, Amazon, Google, and Facebook. These companies all certainly deserve close attention, and most if not all of them could easily become targets under a more rigorous interpretation of antitrust law. But Wu argues forcefully that the "Curse of Bigness" has infected much more than the tech industry. For example, look at the market share for the major firms in the oil, pharmaceutical, and chemical industries. And consider this: the stock market has been shrinking for the past two decades. "The market is half the size of its mid-1990s peak," according to the New York Times. Anyone who so much as glances at the news about mergers and acquisitions knows perfectly well that the American corporate sector has been consolidating for decades.Wu concedes that "antitrust alone will not cure the curse of bigness or eliminate the excesses of private power. But it strikes at the root, and getting the engines of the law restarted is an important part of dealing with a problem that has reached Constitutional dimensions." To that end, Wu lays out "A Neo-Brandeisian Agenda" in the conclusion to The Curse of Bigness. However, the actions he advocates will clearly have to await a political realignment in Washington, DC.About the authorTim Yu has taught antitrust, copyright, the media industries, and communications law at Columbia Law School since 2006. He is a contributing opinion writer for the New York Times. The Curse of Bigness is his fourth book.Gilded Age II - A Study in Attempted Tyranny An excellent short book on the dangers of unfettered power in the economic and corporate realm. Wu's method of providing a clearly explained historical context for the roots and origins of problems we face today works very well in exploring this contentious area. He makes a very persuasive link between the Gilded Age of the late 19th Century when Industrialists like Rockefeller, Carnegie and JP Morgan were a law unto themselves until they were reigned in by Teddy Roosevelt riding a wave of public perception that the Robber Barons needed to be brought under control.Wu rightly cites and admires Louis Brandeis as a key figure in this legal and political battle to redress the balance of power. He explains and justifies the reasons why the Antitrust laws were intended to address the large problem of suppression of competition and not just the narrow issue of "consumer welfare".This is a very relevant and timely book given the development towards ever greater concentration of economic power in very few companies in the modern world.

The Count of Monte Cristo (Bantam Classics) Download

ISBN: 0553213504
Title: The Count of Monte Cristo (Bantam Classics) Pdf
Author: Alexandre Dumas
Published Date: 1956
Page: 441

"Dumas was . . . a summit of art. Nobody ever could, or did, or will improve upon Dumas's romances and plays."—George Bernard Shaw Set against the turbulent years of the Napoleonic era, Alexandre Dumas's thrilling adventure story is one of the most widely read romantic novels of all time. In it the dashing young hero, Edmond Dantès, is betrayed by his enemies and thrown into a secret dungeon in the Chateau d'If -- doomed to spend his life in a dank prison cell. The story of his long, intolerable years in captivity, his miraculous escape, and his carefully wrought revenge creates a dramatic tale of mystery and intrigue and paints a vision of France -- a dazzling, dueling, exuberant France -- that has become immortal. "Dumas was... a summit of art. Nobody ever could, or did, or will improve upon Dumas's romances and plays." -- George Bernard Shaw

Nominated as one of America’s best-loved novels by PBS’s The Great American Read

A popular bestseller since its publication in 1844, The Count of Monte Cristo is one of the great page-turning thrillers of all time. Set against the tumultuous years of the post-Napoleonic era, Alexandre Dumas’s grand historical romance recounts the swashbuckling adventures of Edmond Dantès, a dashing young sailor falsely accused of treason. The story of his long imprisonment, dramatic escape, and carefully wrought revenge offers up a vision of France that has become immortal. As Robert Louis Stevenson declared, “I do not believe there is another volume extant where you can breathe the same unmingled atmosphere of romance.”

If you can't read the original French, only Robin Buss' unabridged and uncensored translation will suffice. I have the Robin Buss translation of THE COUNT OF MONTE CRISTO in paperback, but that copy was old and worn. I wanted a more durable hardcover edition to read and to display on my bookshelf in my new house. The hardcover I bought from Total Books arrived in near-perfect condition, exactly as advertised, and looks gorgeous on the shelf.Why Robin Buss' translation for Penguin Classics? That's a reasonable question since Alexandre Dumas has been dead long enough for his works to enter the public domain. Several translations of his major novels are not only available in cheaper editions (such as Barnes & Noble Classics), but for free on Project Gutenberg.These are inferior and, in the case of THE COUNT OF MONTE CRISTO, censored translations. Most of them date back to the Victorian period, and render Dumas' evergreen French into English prose that feels old-fashioned and stilted today. Furthermore, because these are translations from the Victorian period, the translators filtered Dumas through their own moral sensibilities to give us Bowdlerized versions of a novel that ran on sex, drugs, and rock 'n roll a century before rock 'n roll was something you could do without a machine gun.Robin Buss' unabridged translation comes directly from the original French and renders Dumas into fresh, readable modern English. Material previously omitted by Victorian-era translators such as Franz' hashish-fueled sexual fantasies and the strongly implied lesbian relationship between Eugenie and Louise remain intact and uncensored. As another reviewer pointed out, Buss will provide footnotes to explain subtleties that aren't easily translated from French to English, such as insults delivered by using the formal you (vous) rather than the informal/friendly/intimate you (tu).A detailed appendix provides valuable historical and cultural context that aids the reader in understanding Dumas' masterpiece, and includes a primer on the rise, fall, return, and final downfall of Napoleon Bonaparte that is crucial to making sense of the politics driving the novel's plot.If you cannot read Dumas in his native French, and you want a definitive English version, Robin Buss's unabridged and uncensored modern English translation is essential reading. No other translation will suffice.

From a beginner to a true professional photographer! Thank you No wonder why this book is the top rated photography book in the world. Ok my wife asked me to buy a camera for traveling but I purchased the canon T3i DSLR camera because it had a very good deal on it. I'm not a photographer whatsoever, I purchased this camera and it was intended to capture memories of me and wife. It was so hard to get good pictures with it and I read the camera's manual book twice page to page but I still couldn't understand how things work. I purchased this book and let me tell you this. This book transformed me from a beginner to a professional photographer. I'm not kidding! I was competing in photography contests against professional photographers and always be among the top. I became a landscape, cityscape, nightscape, astro, macro, portrait, product, animal or wild life photographer .. You name it! Well, to be honest I didn't learn everything from this book, off course I did my research online on some of the other stuff, but this book was the starting point for me. I'll post some of my amazing photos that I captured but keep in mind that the quality of the photos are not that good because amazon tends to lower the quality of the images. This book is a life changer and now I own a full frame Canon 6D. Thank you so much for this amazing book and videos. Your book is the best photography book in the world. Keep it up.Light years ahead of the rest I just finished Tony Northrup's How To Create Stunning Digital Photography. I purchased the Kindle version and read it on my PC and it was also available on my iOS devices.Tony and his wife, Chelsea, also an excellent photographer, have created an outstanding learning tool for budding (and intermediate) photographers.This book covers a huge spectrum of photography with the first chapter introducing 6 "quick tips" that get you started on a wonderful journey of discovery. My favorite tip from the first chapter is to take LOTS of photos and delete most of them. With the advent of digital photography, you no longer have to wait for film to be developed to see your results. And digital "film" is free so do lots of experimenting to really learn the ins and outs of your camera.The next four chapters cover composition, lighting and flash, controlling your camera (this chapter alone is worth the price of the book!), and problem-solving which covers a wide variety of techniques to solve those problems.The rest of the book dedicates a whole chapter to each of the following subjects: Portraits, Weddings, Animals, Landscapes, Night Photography (including star trails!), High Dynamic Range (HDR), Closeup/Macro Photography and finally Underwater photography.What really makes this a stand-out learning experience is the included links to hours and hours of high-quality video that demonstrates the subject at hand. These videos average about 5-6 minutes but can be as long as 30 minutes when covering a more complex subject. The book is designed to accommodate different styles of learning so you can read the book then watch the included videos as you read or you can go to Appendix A which is an index for every video so you can watch all the videos and use the book as a reference.At the end of each chapter is a quiz to test your understanding of the subject. Each chapter also includes a series of suggested mini-projects or challenges for you to get hands-on experience with the subject.Tony and Chelsea are very down-to-earth and their style is not cold and sterile but very engaging and fun. They go all over the world with a professional videographer and demonstrate techniques that really gives you an in-depth understanding of the topic. They joke and kid around with you and each other which makes them more engaging and fun to watch while you are learning.While they also have a dedicated book for camera gear, Tony Northrup's Photography Buying Guide: How to Choose a Camera, Lens, Tripod, Flash, & More (Tony Northrup's Photography Books Book 2), there are lots of tips and gear recommendations peppered throughout the book. They will tell you when it is fine to purchase a cheaper, generic piece of gear and when it is better to stick with name-brand equipment. They demonstrate how to get the best quality photos from budget gear and they also encourage you to find used gear. One of the lenses they discussed costs about $1300 new. But they showed me how to find the same lens "like new" that I purchased for $800!I was so impressed with this book that I also purchased their books Adobe Lightroom 6 / CC Video Book: Training for Photographers and Photoshop CC Essentials for Photographers: Chelsea & Tony Northrup's Video Book.Also they do video tutorials for just about every popular camera out there on their website (you will find their website with each link in the book). Each video is ~ 1 hour per camera and covers just about every knob, setting for that camera. Excellent! Their tutorials are far superior to the manual from the camera manufacturer.If you are new to photography or an intermediate level photographer, this book is a no-brainer. This book demonstrates how technology really can make a book better.
