This book explores the political and religious world of early
Bourbon France, focusing on the search for stable accord that
characterised its political and religious life. Chapters examine
developments that shaped the Bourbon realm through the century:
assertions of royal authority, rules of political negotiation, and
the evolution of "Devot "piety.
The Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars have been described as the
first 'total war', which affected millions of people's lives and
brought a whole continent into contact with armies and bloodshed.
But the extent to which the constant state of war that existed
between 1792 and 1815 shaped everyday experience has been much less
studied, even although these wars, conducted by mass armies and
often mobilized by patriotism, led to the circulation of millions
of people throughout Europe and beyond. The changing nature of
warfare had far-reaching consequences for civil society as well as
for those directly engaged in fighting. This volume of essays by
international scholars examines the formative experiences of men
and women - soldiers, citizens and civilians - in the years
1792-1815, drawing particularly on their personal documents and
social and cultural practices, to offer a perspective on the wars
which is at some distance from broader and more familiar historical
narratives.
Understanding how young children begin to make sense out of the
social world has become a major concern within developmental
psychology. Over the last 25 years research in this area has raised
a number of questions which mirror the confluence of interests from
cognitive-developmental and social-developmental psychology. The
aims of this book are to consider critically the major themes and
findings within this growing social-cognitive developmental
research, and to present a new theoretical framework for
investigating children's social cognitive skills. Beyond being the
first major review of the literature in this area, this synopsis
articulates why contemporary theoretical ideas (e.g. information
processing, Piagetian and social interactionist) are unlikely ever
to provide the conceptual basis for understanding children's
participative skills. Building upon ideas both within and beyond
mainstream developmental psychology, the "eco-structural" approach
advocated seeks to draw together the advantages of the ecological
approach in perceptual psychology with the considerable insights of
the conversational analysts, child language researchers and
Goffman's analysis of social interaction. This convergence is
centred around the dynamic and participatory realities of engaging
in conversational contexts, the locus for acquiring social
cognitive skills. The framework provides the building blocks for
models of developmental social cognition which can accommodate
dynamic aspects of children's conversational skills. This book then
is a review of an important area of developmental psychology, a new
perspective on how we can study children's participatory
social-cognitive skills and a summary of supporting research for
the framework advocated.
When a young child begins to engage in everyday interaction, she
has to acquire competencies that allow her to be oriented to the
conventions that inform talk-in-interaction and, at the same time,
deal with emotional or affective dimensions of experience. The
theoretical positions associated with these domains - social-action
and emotion - provide very different accounts of human development
and this book examines why this is the case. Through a longitudinal
video-recorded study of one child learning how to talk, Michael A.
Forrester develops proposals that rest upon a comparison of two
perspectives on everyday parent-child interaction taken from the
same data corpus - one informed by conversation analysis and
ethnomethodology, the other by psychoanalytic developmental
psychology. Ultimately, what is significant for attaining
membership within any culture is gradually being able to display an
orientation towards both domains - doing and feeling, or
social-action and affect.

The Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars affected millions of people's
lives across Europe and beyond. Yet the extent to which the
constant warfare of the period 1792-1815 shaped everyday experience
has been little studied. This volume of essays discusses the
formative experience of these wars for men and women, as soldiers,
citizens and civilians.
This book provides an interpretation of the French Revolution that
is both thematic and accessible to the general reader. The
discussion includes an analysis of the historiography of the
subject, and reviews the range of literature produced around the
recent Bicentenary. Insisting that the French Revolution had an
important social dimension, Alan Forrest demonstrates that the
revolutionaries, even the most extreme of them, were committed to
an ordered society. He argues that in destroying the political
institutions and the corporate structures of the Ancien Regime,
they were conscious of the need to invent a new order of their own,
one that would be consistent with their ideology.
Chapters focus on the initial crisis of 1789, on the political and
social experiments of the revolutionary years, and on the impact of
war and counter-revolution. The study covers the period up to 1799,
looking forward where appropriate to the Napoleonic Empire. The
author's succinct and penetrating overview of events ensures that
"The French Revolution "will be welcomed by all students of this
fascinating and turbulent period in European history.

Do you have a husband, wife, partner, sister, brother, aunt, uncle,
parent, grandparent or patient who is suffering from some form of
dementia? Would you like to know how to stay connected to them on a
deep spiritual level? Dr. Forrest shows you how to do this in her
newest book "Touch the Spirit." In it she details many different
ways to open a window into the memory banks of a person with
dementia by tapping into that person's long-forgotten passions in
life. As a family member, friend or caregiver, Forrest shows you
how to enjoy a meaningful connection to someone living with
dementia. Some of the medical conditions covered include
Alzheimer's disease, FTL dementia, Lewy Body dementia, Parkinson's
disease, strokes, chemo-brain, open-heart surgery induced dementia,
HIV/AIDS, and dementia brought on by a traumatic brain injury or
some type of sports-related injury. "Touch the Spirit" offers
unique pathways to the creation of what many describe as wondrous
connections to a person with dementia. Through the use of personal
stories from family members, friends and caregivers of persons with
dementia, Forrest shows how the use of simple things in one's
everyday life can produce remarkable results. Her stories are also
laced with some of the most up to date research and latest
information from the fields of aging, spirituality. and medicine.
Knowing how difficult the process of aging can be, especially when
mixed with dementia, Forrest believes that "Touch the Spirit"
offers family members, friends and caregivers effective
opportunities to connect to the person with a dementia condition,
even when they seem lost or no longer there. Her latest work offers
a new message of inspiration and hope.
