Toen mijn zoontje drie jaar was, kreeg hij epilepsie. Een tot dan toe voor ons onbekende ziekte, of beter gezegd aandoening. Al vrij snel werd duidelijk dat het geen milde vorm van epilepsie was en kwamen we terecht in de medische molen. Onderweg werd ons duidelijk dat epilepsie veel meer is dan slechts de aanvallen. Ezra kreeg gedrags-, ontwikkel- en leerproblemen. Toen hij vijf jaar was, kreeg hij ook de indicatie PDD-NOS.

Bij het lezen word je ondergedompeld in een doolhof van

valkuilen, intimidaties en surrealistische beleve...

Rethinking a familiar history, Thomas Bisson explores the circumstances that impelled knights, emperors, nobles, and churchmen to infuse lordship with social purpose.

Bisson traces the origins of European government to a crisis of lordship and its resolution. King John of England was only the latest and...
