Ann Clarke was Emeritus Professor at the University of Hull, as was her late husband Alan Clarke who also held the position of Pro-Vice Chancellor at the University. Their work has been widely published, including seven other books, and their careful research and analysis was recognized by the 1977 Research Award from the American Association on Mental Deficiency and the 1982 Distinguished Achievement Award for Scientific Literature from the International Association for the Scientific Study of Mental Deficiency. Ann was a Fellow of the British Psychological Society and Alan was an Honorary Fellow of the Royal College of Psychiatrists and, in 1974, he was appointed a CBE.Few can match the contribution these scientists have made to the field of intellectual disability and to the broader field of the psychology of human development… Human Resilience contains a selection of 18 articles and chapters previously published jointly or individually by the authors over a period spanning the years 1953-2000. These published papers have been complemented by three new chapters and introductory commentaries… This book is an inspiration to those that follow in the footsteps of these two intellectual giants. They have, as Barbara Tizard reports, made the world a better place, especially for people with intellectual disabilities'.
