Paul Cooper è uno scrittore la cui opera è profondamente influenzata dalle sue esperienze nell'esplorazione di rovine antiche e moderne, in particolare in Sri Lanka. La sua prosa è caratterizzata da un occhio attento ai dettagli e uno stile contemplativo, che invita i lettori a riflettere sulla storia, sulla memoria e sullo scorrere del tempo. Cooper intreccia abilmente osservazioni del mondo fisico con intuizioni introspettive, creando un arazzo letterario unico che risuona con un senso del luogo e storie umane durature. La sua scrittura offre una profonda meditazione sui resti delle civiltà e sugli echi che lasciano.

The contributors stress that EBDs are a form of communication, albeit an antagonistic one, and evaluate the success of different methods of intervention in clinical, educational and family settings. They argue that successful intervention requires an appreciation of the complex interplay in the social and personal factors affecting each child.
