Download or read book Themes in French Culture written by Rhoda Métraux and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2001 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Margaret Mead collaborated with her long-time colleague Rhoda Métraux in this unique study of French culture. The Hoover Institute at Stanford University originally published this volume, which grew out of the Columbia University project on Research of Contemporary Cultures in 1954. It is one of the few works by American social scientists dealing with broad themes of French life. Mead and Métraux present a vivid picture of the French starting with the organization of the house and its architecture, and drawing original conclusions for the structure of French families and overall cultural values. This work, long out of print, is a fascinating and penetrating portrait of a contemporary European society.

Download or read book History of the Breast written by Marilyn Yalom and published by Ballantine Books. This book was released on 1998-03-31 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this provocative, pioneering, and wholly engrossing cultural history, noted scholar Marilyn Yalom explores twenty-five thousand years of ideas, images, and perceptions of the female breast--in religion, psychology, politics, society, and the arts. Through the centuries, the breast has been laden with hugely powerful and contradictory meanings. There is the "good breast" of reverence and life, the breast that nourishes infants and entire communities, as depicted in ancient idols, fifteenth-century Italian Madonnas, and representations of equality in the French Revolution. Then there is the "bad breast" of Ezekiel's wanton harlots, Shakespeare's Lady Macbeth, and the torpedo-breasted dominatrix, symbolizing enticement and aggression. Yalom examines these contradictions--and illuminates the implications behind them. A fascinating, astute, and richly allusive journey from Paleolithic goddesses to modern day feminists, A History of the Breast is full of insight and surprises. As Yalom says, "I intend to make you think about women's breasts as you never have before." In this, she succeeds brilliantly.

Book excerpt: In its totality, the “Long Second World War”—extending from the beginning of the Spanish Civil War to the end of hostilities in 1945—has exerted enormous influence over European culture.

Focusing on the major combatant nations—Spain, Britain, France, Italy, Germany, Poland, and Russia—it offers thoroughly contextualized explorations of novels, memoirs, films, and a host of other cultural forms to illuminate European public memory.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the cultural imprint of military conflict on metropolises worldwide in the First and Second World Wars. It brings together cultural and urban historians and scholars of anthropology, education, geography, and urban planning, and examines how the emergence of 'total' warfare blurred the boundaries between home and front and transformed cities into battlefields.

Download or read book Supermom written by Linda Deblanco and published by Createspace Independent Pub. This book was released on 2013-03-07 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.How seriously are we taking our constitutional, inalienable rights these days? There is certainly plenty of focus on power, money and success. But where will that get you if in the end you fail to achieve the ultimate right – happiness? Time to get back on track and aim for what really matters – happiness.In SUPERMOM: The Lost Child we explore how, as children growing up in dysfunctional families, we got off track and lost the most precious aspect of ourselves – our inner child. Since, as we all know, there is nothing new under the sun, neither is there anything new in this book. So why bother to read it you might ask yourself? The only major and very important difference is that this book is approached from the perspective of the layperson – not the book learned professionals who preach what theories they learned in books or the loftiest of the lofty spiritual gurus. Here you will find the wisdom of a Jane Q Citizen who merely seized every possible opportunity to pursue happiness and actually did it!There are many roads to nirvana. Unfortunately specific disciplines (religions, philosophies, psychological theories, organizations, etc.) are inclined to push their own good ideas as the “way.” But let's face it. A cake made out of nothing but flour would be a pretty major failure. And a pursuit of happiness conjured up from only a finite number of possibilities would also prove to be a major disappointment in accomplishing that important ultimate goal.In keeping with what we hear will be the theme of the coming human cycle (beginning December 2012 and continuing on the the following 26,000 years), this book will approach the pursuit of happiness from the perspective of expanded consciousness – the inclusion of multiple approaches to finally achieving true happiness.This is not one more “way” but a recipe of lots of yummy possibilities to living a happier, more peaceful life.
