Georg Lukács and His Generation, 1900-1918
Mary Gluck Manufacturer: Harvard University Press ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback ASIN: 0674348664 |
Book Description
Mary Gluck introduces us to a Lukács we have never met. Here is Lukács among his friends, lovers, and peers in those important years before 1918, when he converted to Communism and Marxism at the age of thirty-nine.
Georg Lukács claimed in later life that his early achievements lacked genuine coherence, being expressions of a vague "romantic anticapitalism" that only found resolution in his conversion to Marxism. By integrating Lukács with his early generational grouping and making expert use of a new treasure trove of documents from his early years, Gluck demonstrates that revolutionary socialism was not the inevitable outcome of Lukács' early cultural radicalism, but only one of several possible options in the fragmented ideological climate of postwar Europe. From this new perspective, his pre-Marxist career takes on a cultural consistency that parallels and illuminates the inner strivings of the early modernists before the outbreak of World War I.
Lukács emerges in this generational portrait not only as dramatic and psychologically complex but also as a representative figure whose inner dilemmas were echoed in the lives of many other radical intellectuals who came of age during the fin de siêcle period. Gluck situates Lukács within a fascinating network of friends and associates, the so-called Sunday Circle, which included such people as Karl Mannheim, Arnold Hauser, Bela Balázs, and Anna Lesznai. She adeptly anchors this group within the context of social and economic transformations in Hungary that brought new conservative, antisemitic movements to the fore and that marginalized the assimilated Jewish middle classes to which Lukács and most of his friends belonged. Retracing their collective hopes and values helps to clarify the far-ranging cultural crisis associated with the decline of nineteenth-century liberal culture and the emergence of the modernist sensibility.

Book Description
Recent medical reports announcing the increase in childhood obesity have become front-page news, raising concerns that this generation will face serious physical problems as adults. What is often overlooked, however, is the more immediate impact of the crisis on the children themselves. Rescuing the Emotional Lives of Overweight Children is the first book to take an in-depth look at the lives of these children. Drawing on a national survey she conducted with middle school children, as well as personal interviews and case studies from her private practice, the noted child psychologist Dr. Sylvia Rimm shows the emotional depth of this epidemic. She explains how overweight children struggle in school, have lowered expectations for their future, have troubling relationships with peers and adults, exhibit more high-risk behavior, and are even more misunderstood by their own families. Using her findings as a starting point, Dr. Rimm outlines the ways parents can make a positive difference in their children's lives, including: lBeing aware of the discrimination overweight children face and working to counteract negative biases in school and among a child's peer group lEncouraging healthful eating without engaging in constant nagging and scolding lGuiding children toward greater achievement, better social interactions, more in-de-pen-dence, and higher personal expectationsCustomer Reviews:

Eminent Canadians
John Fraser Manufacturer: McClelland & Stewart ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback ASIN: 0771031092 Release Date: 2001-04-10 |
Book Description
Ninety years ago, Lytton Strachey scandalized British society with his book Eminent Victorians, in which he disparaged the accomplishments and exaggerated the failings of four highly respected Victorians. It was an immediate bestseller, of course. In Eminent Canadians, John Fraser helps himself to Strachey’s title and to his innovative form – the journalistic profile – and goes one better by doubling the number of worthies under the magnifying glass. But his purpose is not the same as Strachey’s. Fraser wants, as he puts it, to “redeem the dismissed and humanize the demonized.” By telling stories about them, and about the Canada they live or lived in.
