Sinopsis

In "The State of Society in France Before the Revolution of 1789," Alexis de Tocqueville meticulously analyzes the intricate social fabric and political dynamics that shaped France on the brink of the revolutionary upheaval. Employing a keen sociological lens, Tocqueville examines the intersections of class, culture, and political structures, revealing how the discontent among the populace foreshadowed the imminent revolution. His literary style is characterized by a rich, analytical prose that invites readers to delve deeper into the social complexities of pre-revolutionary France, while situating his observations within broader Enlightenment discourse on democracy and equality. Alexis de Tocqueville, a French aristocrat and political thinker, possessed a unique vantage point that informed his perspective on society and governance. His travels in America and keen interest in democratic principles influenced his understanding of societal change, prompting him to investigate the undercurrents of French social life preceding the revolution. Tocqueville's background facilitated his exploration of class disparities and enlightenment ideals, which would later become essential to his later works. This book is essential for anyone interested in understanding the nuanced societal conditions that precipitated one of history's most significant upheavals. Tocqueville's insights remain relevant today, offering a profound examination of the balance between societal equity and political stability.

The first comprehensive history of "psychiatry's bible"—the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. 
 
 
 
Over the past seventy years, the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, or DSM, has evolved from a virtually unknown and little-used pamphlet to an imposing and comprehensive compendium of mental disorder. Its nearly 300 conditions have become the touchstones for the diagnoses that patients receive, students are taught, researchers study, insurers reimburse, and drug companies promote. Although the manual is portrayed as an authoritative corpus of psychiatric knowledge, it is a product of intense political conflicts, dissension, and factionalism. The manual results from struggles among psychiatric researchers and clinicians, different mental health professions, and a variety of patient, familial, feminist, gay, and veterans' interest groups. The DSM is fundamentally a social document that both reflects and shapes the professional, economic, and cultural forces associated with its use. 
 
 
 
In DSM, Allan V. Horwitz examines how the manual, known colloquially as "psychiatry's bible," has been at the center of thinking about mental health in the United States since its original publication in 1952.
