Rescued By A Cow and A Squeeze

"Temple Grandin was diagnosed with autism and suffered severe learning disabilities as a child. Bright lights and strong smells bothered her, and background noises other people couldn?�+t even hear boomed inside her head. She first encountered cows on a trip to a cattle ranch when she was a teenager and realized that they experience the world in many of the same ways that she did?��and were bothered by the same kinds of sights and sounds she was. She determined to find a way to ease their stress. Combining her remarkable ability to create building designs inside her head and her cow?�+s eye view of the world, Temple became the foremost designer of humane animal facilities in the U.S. She persuaded fast food chains like McDonald?�+s to adopt her standards for the humane treatment of animals and spurred a revolution in the American meat industry. Temple Grandin?�+s life was documented in a PBS documentary entitled ?��Stairway to Heaven?�� and by Oliver Sacks in his essay ?��An Anthropologist on Mars.?�� In Rescued by a Cow and a Squeeze, Medical Reporter Mary Carpenter brings Temple?�+s remarkable achievements to children and young adults for the first time."
