Bøger af Mary McIntosh

Mary McIntosh is now 91 years old, yet she writes with all the animation and verve of a twenty year old. In "Much Have I Travell'd" she remembers her many junkets all over the world and the adventures she enjoyed and the wonderful people she met. Try a sample and you'll find you want to read more. And your feet may start itching to get up and go see for yourself some of the wonderful sights Mary relates. You'll also yearn for those times gone by before so many others had made the trips Mary describes. In a slower and more innocent time she explored many cities and lands few Americans had yet visited. It's a wonderful read and a real inspiration to get up and get going! This book is also available as an E-book at Amazon and Barnes and Noble. Visit their web sites and sample it for free.

Despite much talk of its decline, the nuclear family persists as a structure central to contemporary society, a fact to be lamented, according to the ideas of Michele Barrett and Mary McIntosh. The Anti-social Family dissects the network of household, kinship and sexual relations that constitute the family form in advanced capitalist societies to show how they reinforce conditions of inequality. This classic work explores the personal and social needs that the family promises to meet but more often denies, and proposes moral and political practices for more egalitarian caring alternatives.
