Temple Grandin

Temple Grandin, Ph.D., is a gifted animal scientist who has
designed one third of all the livestock-handling facilities
in the United States. She also lectures widely on autism
because she is autistic, a woman who thinks, feels, and
experiences the world in ways that are incomprehensible to
the rest of us. In this unprecedented book, Grandin writes
from the dual perspectives of a scientist and an autistic
person. She tells us how she managed to breach the
boundaries of autism to function in the outside world. What
emerges is the document of an extraordinary human being,
one who gracefully bridges the gulf between her condition
and our own while shedding light on our common identity.
