Summary

Mother Raises Young explores the historical construction of motherhood, unraveling the societal forces that intensified the focus on female child-rearing, particularly before 1980. It examines how cultural narratives shaped the notion of "intensive mothering," where women were expected to devote themselves primarily to their children. The book analyzes parenting advice from period-specific books, magazines, and expert opinions, revealing how societal expectations were disseminated and reinforced.

 
This book argues that the concentration on female child-rearing was not a natural phenomenon, but a culturally constructed ideal, influenced by historical, economic, and social factors. For instance, the shift from agrarian to industrialized norms transformed the roles ascribed to women.

 
The book progresses by first defining key terms and outlining the scope, then it explores the historical development of this ideal by examining its roots in industrialization and the influence of psychological theories. It culminates by discussing the legacy of these trends and their relevance to contemporary parenting debates.

Hypochondria

Will Rees

A personal and literary examination of hypochondria.
		 
A free-wheeling philosophical essay, Hypochondria is expansive in its range of references, from the writings of Franz Kafka to original yet accessible readings of theorists like Lauren Berlant. Whether he is discussing Seinfeld, John Donne, or his own hypochondriac past, Rees reveals himself to be a wry and perceptive critic, exploring the causes — and the costs — of our desire for certainty. With wit and erudition, Hypochondria demonstrates both the rewards and the perils of reading (too) closely the common but typically overlooked aspects of our everyday lives.

Omaha Beach - D-Day June 6 1944

Joseph Balkoski

Includes maps, photos, and firsthand accounts of participants: “There is no better book on this vital chapter in American history.” —Terry Copp, author of Fields of Fire   Combining the personal recollections of soldiers with historical narrative and analysis of the actual invasion as it unfolded, this detailed description of the action at Omaha Beach during the Normandy invasion of World War II comes from “the top living D-Day historian” (USA Today).   “Anyone who wants to know anything about Omaha Beach, where the fighting was heaviest and bloodiest, must begin with this foundational book…The research is unparalleled and comprehensive enough to satisfy even the most skeptical scholar, yet the story is absorbing. The carnage of Omaha Beach comes to life with vivid contemporary descriptions from participants and witnesses, while the whole tale is deftly steered along by Balkoski’s steady narration and his sense of the battle’s larger significance. ‘History can provide at least a little solace that there was some meaning to it all,’ he writes movingly. ‘D-Day was the decisive chapter of a twentieth century Iliad.’ Indeed it was—and Balkoski is its Homer.” —The Wall Street Journal   “Balkoski makes officer and enlisted-men’s first-person testimony the center of this account.” —Publishers Weekly   “Intensely researched and definitive.” —Army magazine   “Balkoski’s depiction of ‘Bloody Omaha’ is the literary accompaniment to the white-knuckle Omaha Beach scene that opens Steven Spielberg’s Saving Private Ryan.” —The New York Post   “The best D-Day-related book I have read.” —Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
