It explores the rich history of research and practice in this field, from the early 1960s to the present day, highlighting the significant contributions of Natalie Barraga and other pioneers. The author delves into the concept of visual efficiency, presenting a practical scale for its assessment. The book features various case studies and practical examples to illustrate the successful implementation of visual stimulation programs, showcasing how tailored teaching strategies can help children with low vision reach their full potential.

paperback. Condición: New. In shrink wrap. Looks like an interesting title.

Octavo, cloth. First U.S. edition. 460 copies printed of which this is one of 450 numbered copies offered for sale. "Horror thriller, first published by Herbert Jenkins in 1939, of a family afflicted with a 'strain of the hyper-human . with one leg in the human world and one leg in the immaterial world.' In other words, some members become werewolves and after death, vampires. Govina, an extreme case, contemplates matricide and incest to fulfill his destiny. More confused but no less bizarre than his other thrillers, with a pronounced streak of eroticism associated with the violence. Possibly influenced by Endore's THE WEREWOLF OF PARIS, certainly similar under the pseudo-occult bunkum." - Robert Knowlton.

"Probably Ryan's best horror thriller; heroine trapped in isolated mansion, evil psychologist uncle conducts sadistic experiments in ancestral memory and regression -- to her peril. House and surrounding landscape imbued with atmosphere of menace, allowing no release for girl or reader." - Robert Knowlton. "Ryan could combine psychological cruelty with Grand Guignol horror better than any writer going." - Karl Edward Wagner, Twilight Zone, June 1983. [Reference: Sullivan, ed., The Penguin Encyclopedia of Horror and the Supernatural, p. 365. Hubin (1994), p. 710]. Some toning and foxing to end papers with some foxing to the fore edges, mild wear to cloth edges, slight lean, a solid, very good copy. Rare. (33894). …

Hardcover. Condición: Very good. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Good. First Edition. A very good first edition, lacking the scarce jacket, of one of Ryan's weird horror novels, this one centered around an unmarried mother who is lured to a freak museum by the proprietor who has sinister plans for her. The police officers who investigate end up dead, and ultimately the "freaks" themselves start to revolt. Or something like that. "Rapidly she reviewed her position: destitute, an unmarried mother, alone with strangers, foreigners, separated from the child she craved, surrounded by ghostly beings remotely allied to the human race?yet of a race apart; and, as against all that, submission to this man Axe, to whatever purpose he served; with of course, the child in the background, held on and on as a hostage, till her particular work be done" (p. 71). The works of R. R. Ryan have been attributed to a number of people, most commonly Evelyn Bradley, a minor British author. In the Ramble House reissue of Freak Museum, the author is identified as Bradley's daughter, Denice Jeanette Bradley-Ryan, who also wrote as Kay Seaton. I am going to go with Evelyn Bradley, who was commonly known as Rex Ryan (his wife took the surname Ryan and Evelyn's daughter used both Bradley and Ryan). James Doig, who blogged at the Wormwoodiana site, reported obtaining documents from Random House (which acquired the publisher Herbert Jenkins) showing correspondence with the author going to the Ryan household after Denice left home and married. [1?6] 7?282, [283?288: publisher's ads]. First edition (states "First Printing, 1938" on the copyright page, with no indication of later printings). A very good copy in the publisher's orange cloth-covered boards (hardcover). Small previous owner's name on the half-title (A. Norman) and some erasing on the last page affecting a few lines text of an ad. The spine has browned a bit and there is wear to the edges of the orange cloth. Lacking the jacket, but still a decent copy of an historically scarce book. …

Hardcover. Condición: Very good. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Good. First Edition. The author's first book as Ryan (and second novel overall, after Tyranny of Virtue by "Noel Despard"). The novel, with its dreamlike third-person narration, explores the idea of justifiable homicide and the sexual mores of the 1920s. A contemporary review described the book: "The Right to Kill is more of a problem than a detective story, but the situation it presents?that of a detective who when sent to investigate a crime finds that it involves a former mistress and his own illegitimate daughter?is developed with skill and ingenuity" (quoted from the Liverpool Daily Post, July 1, 1936). Ryan's many books mostly drifted into obscurity until the 1980s when genre fiction critics began to rediscover him. The works of R. R. Ryan have been attributed to a number of people, most commonly Evelyn Bradley, a minor British author. In the Ramble House reissue of Freak Museum, another Ryan novel, the author is identified as Bradley's daughter, Denice Jeanette Bradley-Ryan, who also wrote as Kay Seaton. I am going to go with Evelyn Bradley, who was commonly known as Rex Ryan (his wife took the surname Ryan and Evelyn's daughter used both). James Doig, who blogs under the Wormwoodiana site, reports obtaining documents from Random House (which acquired the publisher Herbert Jenkins) showing correspondence with the author going to the Ryan household after Denice left home and married. First edition (states "First published 1936" on the copyright page, with no indication of later printings). A very good copy in the publisher's orange cloth-covered boards (hardcover). This copy is one of the few surviving copies with a dust jacket, here restored to reattach the front panel at the spine, some infill along the top edge, and a long repaired tear on the front panel. There is also skillful infill and repainting of the spine ends. An attractive copy of a vanishingly scarce jacket, correctly priced on the spine at 7'6.…
