But Gardner did more, much more…Īstoundingly, he was not just a writer, but also a practicing lawyer, a humanitarian and an adventurer. ![]() If that were all he ever did, he’d still rank a bio on this site, given that Mason, in his earliest books, was little more than a unliciensed private eye who just happened to practise law in between shootouts, fisticuffs and other hard-boiled shenanigans.

The description of her mother’s efforts to get her daughter the services she needed, and teachers who meant well but didn’t understand what a learning disability was, are all relatable to parents and teachers of students with learning disabilities. Even though she has the specific learning disability of Dyscalculia, her experiences are similar to those who experience dyslexia and other learning disabilities.

Planners mandate free parking to alleviate congestion but end up distorting transportation choices, debasing urban design, damaging the economy, and degrading the environment. In this no-holds-barred treatise, Donald Shoup argues that free parking has contributed to auto dependence, rapid urban sprawl, extravagant energy use, and a host of other problems.
