THE
RELATIONSHIPS THEME
We've
been somewhat disappointed by the scarcity of submitted material
for this issue of Nurturing Potential.
Whether
this is the fault of the subject matter for our main theme, or
simply the incidence of a major holiday time, is not
clear. But we shall continue the theme for our next
issue as we have by no means covered all aspects of this vast
subject.
We
hope you will find what does appear in that section of interest
and we are pleased that the remainder of this issue has articles
covering the full range of our usual subjects.
BOOK
REVIEWS
Although
we did not receive all the book reviews we had anticipated, we
nevertheless have - once again - a very wide selection of
reviews. Particularly pleasing is that we have two reviews
of Mark Haddon's The Curious incident of the Dog in the Night
Time - a book that won the Whitbread Prize last year - whose
central character is a boy with Asperger's Syndrome. Our
pleasure comes from the fact that one review is by Tom
Maguire, a teacher of English as a Foreign Language in Spain;
the other is by Kevin Phillips, himself a subject of Asperger's
Syndrome and one of our regular contributors. It is
fascinating to note that both these reviewers were equally
impressed with the book from their different vantage points.
If
any of our readers would like to be considered as a prospective
reviewer, we shall be pleased to hear from them. There is
- perhaps I didn't have to say this! - no question of payment,
but you do get to keep some very fine books!! If you are
interested please let me (Joe Sinclair) know the subjects
wherein your interest lies.
We
hope this issue has pleased you.
