Bill Hausman, an American diplomat in Guyana, has scarcely heard of Jonestown, the religious "paradise" that has recently established itself deep in the Guyanese jungle. He knows very little about the Peoples Temple or their leader, Jim Jones, a passionate, pro-integrationist minister with a vision of a harmonious future for all God's children-and dark personal demons that will twist that vision into a horrifying nightmare. Yet Bill quickly becomes acquainted with all these things when his world collides with that of John Olsen, an American businessman whose ex-wife has moved to Jonestown, taking their daughter, Katrina, with her. As rumors surface of hunger, beatings, manipulation, and other strange abuses within the closed cult settlement, John grows increasingly frantic to get Katrina out of there, before the cruelest of these rumors comes to fruition...before Jim Jones' long-awaited White Night. Set in the truth of history, with detail that comes from the author's firsthand experience, Before White Night is a fictionalized account of courage at the threshold of one of the twentieth century's most shocking and unsettling tragedies.

<p>Autismo: La educación de Mark Hartmann es una historia de surgimiento. En él se documenta el progreso de un estudiante, desde el triunfo, seguido por la expulsión, sólo para concluir con el resurgimiento y triunfo una vez más. Mientras que los educadores pesimistas y los abogados revuelven en un caso legal para explicar la exclusión de Mark Hartmann de la educación inclusiva, Mark, su familia, y sus aliados marchan hacia adelante en la búsqueda de formas creativas para demostrar que Mark puede florecer como estudiante con autismo. Con una narrativa rica y suntuosa que se extiende todo el camino hasta la Corte Suprema de los Estados Unidos, este libro sintetiza la lucha de una nación a favor de las oportunidades educativas para estudiantes con autismo y otras discapacidades de desarrollo. Esta es la dramática historia de un estudiante, Mark Hartmann, y sus padres defensores de sus derechos como estudiante. La educación de Mark celebra la educación como la puerta de entrada a la plena ciudadanía. -Douglas Biklen, Ph.D., Decano, Facultad de Educación, Universidad de Syracuse, New York</p>
