The life story of Jeanne Simons, whose own autism informed her
pioneering work with autistic children. Jeanne Simons devoted her
career as a social worker and educator to the study, treatment, and
care of children with autism. In 1955, she established the Linwood
Children's Center in Ellicott City, Maryland, one of the first
schools dedicated to children with autism. Her Linwood Model,
developed there, was widely adopted and still forms the basis for a
variety of autism intervention techniques. Incredibly-although
unknown at the time-Jeanne was herself autistic. Behind the Mirror
reveals the remarkable tale of this trailblazer and how she
thought, felt, and experienced the world around her. With moving
immediacy, Jeanne tells her life story to developmental
psychologist, friend, and collaborator Sabine Oishi. Jeanne's
unique experience is supplemented by commentary from Dr. Oishi, who
explains the importance of key biographical details and fills in
additional information about the diagnosis and treatment of autism.
Enhanced with a photo gallery, a look at new approaches to the
education of children with autism, and a history of Linwood since
its founding, the book also contains a foreword, an afterword, and
an appendix by James C. Harris, MD, the past director of child
psychiatry at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and the
founder of its autism clinic. Demystifying the experience of
autism, Behind the Mirror is a groundbreaking account of
possibilities and hope.

The British Army in North America conducted two campaigns in 1777.
John Burgoyne led one army south from Canada to seize control of
the Lake Champlain-Hudson River corridor resulting in the battle of
Saratoga. Burgoyne’s defeat led to that army’s capture. Rather
than assist Burgoyne’s campaign, William Howe led his army from
New York City on the Philadelphia campaign. Although Howe captured
Philadelphia, the events of 1777 led to the French Alliance and
ultimately American victory in American Revolution. This fully
illustrated account of the Philadelphia campaign puts the battles
into context and explains the importance of the campaign to the
outcome of the war.

Reverdy Johnson (1796–1876), Maryland senator, and Horatio
Seymour, Democratic governor of New York, were two influential
opponents of Abraham Lincoln and the Republicans during the Civil
War. But unlike the Copperheads, they staunchly supported the war
to suppress the rebellion. The story of these two figures of the
loyal opposition by Lincoln Prizewinning author William C. Harris
provides a new way of understanding critical controversies relating
to the purpose of the Civil War, its conduct, emancipation, white
racial opinion, loyalty, military conscription, and civil
liberties.
In Lincoln Illuminated and Remembered, venerated Lincoln scholar
William C. Harris revisits neglected features of the life and
presidency of Abraham Lincoln that deserve further attention. In
this collection of essays written with his characteristically
inviting prose, Harris draws on decades of scholarship on
America’s most highly regarded president to provide a fresh and
fuller treatment of aspects of Lincoln’s political career and
legacy that have not been adequately analyzed by historians or
biographers.Lincoln Illuminated and Remembered offers new
perspectives on Lincoln’s leadership, with particular concern for
the origins and development of Lincoln’s qualities as a leader.
Harris offers up the events of the Mexican-American War, an early
and often neglected feature of Lincoln’s political career, as a
crucible for his political identity and vision. Another essay
provides a detailed account of Lincoln’s support for compensated
emancipation, highlighted by his plan to end the war and slavery.
Lincoln’s military leadership is also described and analyzed,
along with his relationship with George B. McClellan, Ulysses S.
Grant, and other Civil War commanders. Harris deftly describes
Lincoln’s respect for the law and the Constitution and its
effects on his policies regarding southern secession, political
opposition in the North, and guerrilla warfare in the West and
along the Canadian border. Finally, a biographical account of James
Rood Doolittle, Lincoln’s leading supporter in the Senate, is
offered within the context of President Lincoln’s relationship
with Congress, the rise of the Republican Party, and the turbulent
events of the Civil War and Reconstruction. As Harris argues
throughout these essays, Lincoln’s development as commander in
chief of the armies and his skills in dealing with Congress proved
essential in winning the war, ending slavery, and elevating Lincoln
to the rank of America’s greatest president—an honor that was
unthinkable at his first inauguration.
First published in 1980. Routledge is an imprint of Taylor &

Winner of the 1998 Lincoln Prize, 2nd Place
"This is the best book I have ever read about Reconstruction
during the Lincoln administration. With Charity for All offers a
powerful argument for the continuity of Lincoln's generous approach
to Reconstruction, and it provides a wealth of information showing
how the president's mind worked. I only wish I had had this
first-rate book before me when I was writing my Lincoln
biography."" --David Herbert Donald, Journal of American
History
Harris maintains that Lincoln held a fundamentally conservative
position on the process of reintegrating the South, one that
permitted a large measure of self-reconstruction, and that he did
not modify his position late in the war. He examines the reasoning
and ideology behind Lincoln's policies, describes what happened
when military and civil agents tried to implement them at the local
level, and evaluates Lincoln's successes and failures in bringing
his restoration efforts to closure.

While sexual violence has been present and prevalent on campus for
decades, the recent work of college student activists has made it
an issue of major societal and institutional concern. This book
makes an important contribution to and provides a foundation for
better contextualizing and understanding sexual violence. Each
chapter in this edited volume focuses on populations that are not
often centered in the discourse of campus sexual violence and
accounts for individuals' intersecting identities and how they
interlock with larger systems of domination. Challenging dominant
ideologies concerning assumptions of white women as the only
victims-survivors, the racialization of aggressors, and deleterious
rape myths present in both research and practice, this book draws
attention to the complexities of sexual violence on the college
campus by highlighting populations that are frequently invisible in
research, reporting, and practice. The book places sexual violence
on campus in a historical context, centering the experiences of
populations relegated to the margins, and highlighting the
relationship between racism, classism, homophobia, transphobia, and
other forms of domination to sexual violence. The final chapters of
the book explore how critical models of intervention and prevention
and a critical analysis of existing institutional policies may be
implemented across college campuses to better address sexual
violence for multiple populations and identities in higher
education. This book will expand educators' understanding of sexual
violence to inform more effective policies, procedures, practice,
and research that reaches beyond preventing sexual violence and
addresses the dominant systems from which sexual violence stems, in
an attempt to eradicate, not just prevent, the act and the issue.

A powerful tale of the survival of the women and children left
behind during the American Civil War by the author of the Sebastian
St Cyr mysteries. It's the beginning of the American Civil War and
the Union army is sailing down the Mississippi, leaving death and
destruction in its wake. The graceful river town of St.
Francisville, Louisiana, has known little of the hardships, death,
and destruction of the War. But with the fall of New Orleans, all
changes. A Federal fleet appears on the Mississippi, and it isn't
long before the depredations and attacks begin. For one Southern
family the dark blue uniform of the Union army is not the only
thing they fear. A young girl stops a vicious attack on her mother
and the town must pull together to keep each other safe. But a
cryptic message casts doubt amongst the town's folk. Is there a
traitor in the town and can anybody be trusted? Twelve-year-old
Amrie and her family have never felt entirely accepted by their
neighbors, due to their vocal abolitionist beliefs. But when
Federal forces lay siege to the nearby strongholds of Vicksburg and
Port Hudson, the women and children of St. Francisville find
themselves living in a no man's land between two warring armies.
Realizing they must overcome their differences and work together to
survive, they soon discover strengths and abilities they never knew
they possessed, and forge unexpected friendships. As the violence
in the area intensifies, Amrie comes to terms with her own capacity
for violence and realizes that the capacity for evil exists within
all of us. And when the discovery of a closely guarded secret
brings the wrath of the Federal army down on St. Francisville, the
women of St. Francisville, with whom Amrie and her mother have
shared the war years' many deprivations and traumas, now unite and
risk their own lives to save them. This isn't Gone With the Wind;
it isn't glamorous but it is raw and tugs at the heartstrings in
the same way. Do we finally have a rival to Margaret Mitchell?
Confederate Privateer is a comprehensive account of the brief life
and exploits of John Yates Beall, a Confederate soldier, naval
officer, and guerrilla in the Chesapeake Bay and Great Lakes
region. A resident of Charles Town, Virginia (now West Virginia),
near Harpers Ferry, Beall was a member of the militia guarding the
site of John Brown's execution in 1859. Beall later signed on as a
private in the Confederate army and suffered a wound in defense of
Harpers Ferry early in the war. He quickly became a fanatical
Confederate, ignoring the issue of slavery by focusing on a belief
that he was fighting to preserve liberty against a tyrannical
Republican party that had usurped the republic and its
constitution. Limited by poor health but still seeking an active
role in the Confederate cause, Beall traveled to the Midwest and
then to Canada, where he developed an elaborate plan for
Confederate operations on the Great Lakes. In Richmond, Beall laid
his plan before Confederate President Jefferson Davis and Secretary
of the Navy Stephen Mallory. Instead of the Great Lakes operation,
Mallory authorized a small privateering action on the Chesapeake
Bay. Led by "Captain" Beall, the operation damaged or destroyed
several ships under the protection of the U.S. Navy. For his part
in organizing the raids, Beall became known as the "Terror of the
Chesapeake." After Union forces captured Beall and his men, the War
Department prepared to try them as pirates. But Secretary of War
Edwin Stanton backed down, and Beall was later freed in a prisoner
exchange. Organizing another privateering operation on the Great
Lakes, Beall had some early successes on the water. He then hatched
a plan to derail a passenger train transporting Confederate
prisoners of war near Niagara, New York, but was captured before he
could carry out the mission. The Union army charged Beall with
conspiracy, found him guilty, and executed him. Harris's history of
Beall offers a new view of paramilitary efforts by civilians to
support the Confederacy. Though little remembered today, Beall was
a legendary figure in the Civil War South, so much so that his
execution was on John Wilkes Booth's list of reasons to assassinate
President Abraham Lincoln. Based on exhaustive research in primary
and secondary sources and placed in the context of more extensive
Confederate guerrilla operations, Confederate Privateer is sure to
be of interest to Civil War scholars and general readers interested
in the conflict.
