The Children's Culture Reader by Henry Jenkins, ISBN 0814742327
Far from noncombatants whom we seek to protect from the contamination posed by adult knowledge, children form the very basis on which we fight over the nature and values of our society, and over our hopes and fears for the future. Unfortunately, our understanding of childhood and children has not kept pace with their crucial and rapidly changing roles in our culture.
Pulling together a range of different thinkers who have rethought the myths of childhood innocence, The Children's Culture Reader develops a profile of children as creative and critical thinkers who shape society even as it shapes them. The Children's Culture Reader focuses on issues of parent-child relations, child labor, education, play, and especially the relationship of children to mass media and consumer culture. The contributors include Martha Wolfenstein, Philippe Aries, Jacqueline Rose, James Kincaid, Lynn Spigel, Valerie Walkerdine, Ellen Seiter, Annette Kuhn, Eve Sedgwick, Henry Giroux, and Nancy Scheper-Hughes...

Advice for a Happy Marriage: From Miss Crawford's Third Grade Class by Debi Dietz Crawford, ISBN 0446911704
When third-grade teacher Debi Dietz Crawford was away on her honeymoon, her substitute asked the class to write down some advice for the new couple, never dreaming how charming, funny, and honest and true their responses would be. Here, with the children's own crayoned illustrations, are dozens of their wonderful suggestions, from "Always take turns getting up and making the coffee" to "You need to kiss every once in a while" to "Do not marry another person". Heartwarming and wise beyond the years of its young authors, Advice for a Happy Marriage is a book to give, receive, reflect on, and share.

Feeding China's Little Emperors: Food, Children, and Social Change by Jun Jing, ISBN 0804731349
Until recently, Chinese children ate what their parents fed them and were not permitted to influence, much less dictate, their own diet. The situation today is radically different, especially in cities and prosperous villages, as a result of a notable increase in people's income and a fast-growing consumer culture. Chinese children, with spending money in their pockets, arguably have become the most determined consumers -- usually of snack foods, soft drinks, and fast foods from such Western outlets as McDonald's and Kentucky Fried Chicken. With many children, especially pampered only children, now controlling not only their own but also their family's choice of staples, snacks, and restaurants, a major reformation in the concept of childhood is occurring in China.
This book focuses on how the transformation of children's food habits, the result of China's transition to a market economy and its integration into the global economic arena, has changed the intimate relationship of childhood,...

What would you get if you crossed a duck with a dog? "A ducks-hund. What is brown and greasy and stays in a tower? "The lunch bag of Notre Dame.

Painting Flea Market Furniture
In project after project, such simple applications as color washing, ragging, sponging, and spray-paint spattering transform flea market finds into household treasures. Beautifully done photography, most in full-page format, show the results, while close-ups show every step required to carry out each particular technique.

The Wind Done Gone by Alice Randall, ISBN 0618194258
In an inspired act of literary invention, Alice Randall explodes the world created in Margaret Mitchell's famous 1936 novel, the work that more than any other has defined our image of the antebellum South. Imagine simply that the black characters peopling that world were completely different, not egregious, one-dimensional stereotypes but fully alive, complex human beings. And then imagine, quite plausibly, that at the center of this world moves an illegitimate mulatto woman, and that this woman, Cynara, Cinnamon, or Cindy -- beautiful and brown -- gets to tell her story.
Cindy is born into a world in which she is unacknowledged by her plantation-owning father and passed over by her mother in favor of her white charges. Sold off like so much used furniture, she eventually makes her way back to Atlanta to take up with a prominent white businessman, only to leave him for an aspiring politician of her own color. Moving from the Deep South to the exhilarating freedom of Reconstruction Washington,...
