"Recommended" by Choice Enterprising Youth examines the agenda behind the shaping of nineteenth-century children’s perceptions and world views and the transmission of civic duties and social values to children by adults. The essays in this book reveal the contradictions involved in the perceptions of children as active or passive, as representatives of a new order, or as receptacles of the transmitted values of their parents. The question, then, is whether the business of telling children's stories becomes an adult enterprise of conservative indoctrination, or whether children are enterprising enough to read what many of the contributors to this volume see as the subversive potential of these texts. This collection of literary and historical criticism of nineteenth-century American children’s literature draws upon recent assessments of canon formations, gender studies, and cultural studies to show how concepts of public/private, male/female, and domestic/foreign are collapsed to reveal a picture of American childhood and life that is expansive and constrictive at the same time.

This book explores disrupted youth cohesion in France within the context of multiple ongoing global economic, migratory, social, political, and security-related crises. While these trends can be observed in numerous Western societies, France provides a unique case study of various anti-cosmopolitan and anti-Enlightenment movements shaping youth conditions and reconfiguring relationships between the individual, the group, and society. The authors undertook in-depth interviews with French young people between the ages of 18 to 30 years old to inquire into how they experience "vivre ensemble" (living together) in a time of rising economic inequalities and multicultural tensions. Through these findings, they invite decision-makers, politicians, educators, and parents to propose a renewed narrative of social cohesion for youth who are not disillusioned, but deeply on edge.

What do you do when you graduate college? Do you get a job? Start your career? Begin your adult life? Hell no. You go on a road trip. At its foundation, Young Wanderlust is a trip. A trip that a man took to fulfill his duty as an American: to drive across the country. However, as it happens on many trips people take into foreign territory, unexpected elements are forcefully confronted. This trip is no exception. What happens when unexpected changes occur? Do you resist them or embrace them? Young Wanderlust delves into what happens when those intriguing, exciting, and often fearful choices are put in front of you. It is about the mindset that is required for traveling. It is about observing the various lives that people lead across the vast, diverse continent known as North America. It is about seeing how far you can go. In short, it is about discovery, and all of the intriguing, exciting, and fearful forms it comes in.

There is an entire generation whose brains are permanently shaped by unrealistic standards of beauty, fostering unwanted sexual conditioning that governs their intimate behaviours. Lust - not love - is rendering millions unprepared for relationships, marriage, and parenthood in an unmonitored, hypersexual virtual world. But what if freedom from these unhealthy social mores meant unlearning what you've already learned? For more than two decades, Stephen Peter Anderson experienced how his unrealistic and unattainable ideas of beauty unknowingly shaped his sexual conditioning. His odyssey is more than a struggle with overcoming a distorted representation of sex - it is a fight for reclamation. Wanderlust is not just an intensely personal story but a journey of self-discovery in relearning how to attain the glory and beauty of love that God intended. In this #MeToo era there could hardly be a more prescient and timely publication to recalibrate what it means to be a human and to love - a vital proclamation that needs to be heard.
