A call for parents to take responsibility for their children and give them what they truly need in order to grow, thrive, and love.
Take a good look around you: you can't go into stores or restaurants without seeing joyless children screaming and sulking while their parents ignore them. According to esteemed child psychiatrist Robert Shaw, this epidemic has become so much the norm that we often don't recognize its warning signs. This bold and timely book tells you how to save your child and your family—with a commonsense approach that cuts to the core of the problem and shows us the cure. The Epidemic covers:
<ul>
<li> Developing your child's ability to love</li> <li> Managing child care and minimizing the damage</li> <li> Raising cooperative, joyful, and creative children</li> <li> Promoting self-esteem and confidence rather than self-centeredness</li> <li> Avoiding the harmful effects of electronic media</li> <li> Healing angry, contemptuous, withdrawn, and out-of-control children</li>
</ul>

Written over a century ago by British tea planter and pioneer explorer Robert Shaw, this volume recounts Shaw's now celebrated journey into Central Asia. Shaw set out on his expedition in 1868--a time when Britain and Russia were aggressively vying for control over the uncharted terrain of Central Asia--in the hope of opening up the region as a market for Indian tea and becoming the first Englishman to visit the almost legendary towns of Chinese Turkistan. This lively and detailed account describes the course and events of Shaw's journey as well as the bloody warfare waged by Turkic autocrats and the elaborate social rituals of their elite.

The Nocturnal City (Routledge Research in Culture, Space and Identity)

Night is a foundational element of human and animal life on earth, but its interaction with the social world has undergone significant transformations during the era of globalization. As the economic activity of the ‘daytime’ city has advanced into the night, other uses of the night as a time for play, for sleep or for escaping oppression have come increasingly under threat. This book looks at the relationship between night and society in contemporary cities. It identifies that while theories of ‘planetary urbanization’ have traced the spatial spread of urban forms, the temporal expansion of urban capitalism has been less well mapped. It argues that, as a key part of planetary being, understanding what goes on at night in cities can add nuance to debates on planetary urbanization. A series of practices and spaces that we encounter in the night-time city are explored. These include: the maintenance and repair of infrastructure; the aesthetics of the urban night; nightlife and the night-time economy; the home at night; and the ecologies of the urban night. Taking these forward the book will ask whether the night can reveal some of the boundaries to what we call ‘the urban’ in a world of cities, and will call for a revitalized and enhanced ‘nightology’ to study these limits.
