Salons vs Clubs

Sinopsis

Salons vs Clubs explores how intellectual discussions evolved from exclusive aristocratic gatherings to become catalysts for revolutionary movements. It contrasts the 18th and 19th-century salons, hosted by influential women and fostering elite intellectual exchange, with the rise of political clubs, more democratic organizations focused on specific ideologies. Understanding this transition is crucial for grasping how ideas spread and shaped modern political thought in Europe and the Americas.

 
The book argues that salons, while reinforcing social hierarchies, acted as precursors to the clubs by refining ideas that later found public expression. For example, Enlightenment ideals debated in salons found fertile ground for enactment within the clubs during the French Revolution.

 
The book charts this evolution across countries like France, England, and the United States, examining key figures and themes, and showing how these venues impacted political events. It progresses by first defining salons and clubs, then exploring their development and influence across different nations, and concluding with their lasting legacy on modern political organizations.

Parenting That Works - Building...

PhD Edward R. Christophersen,...

Being a parent is probably the most important job many of us will ever have. In this book, clinical psychologist Dr. Edward Christophersen and his colleague, child psychologist Dr. Susan Mortweet, show parents how to raise their child to become the adult we'd all like to be—one who is happy and compassionate, confident but not aggressive, and able to make and keep friends. 
 
 
 
They point out that from babyhood on through the school years, children learn these qualities by observing and interacting with their parents. In clearly written, easy-to-follow chapters, parents are shown how to model and reward positive behaviors and avoid the need for ineffective, punitive discipline. 
 
 
 
Two key areas are covered in the book: building one's own skills as a parent, and then building one's child's competencies. Scores of practical examples show parents how to teach their children what is important in life, how to communicate clearly, and how to effectively discipline their child. Special parenting topics such as managing a child's behavior in public, monitoring TV, toys, and games, and handling fallout from divorce are also discussed. Listeners then learn how to build their child's basic skills by teaching him or her how to quickly get over upsets and how to play independently.
