An overview of the intellectual life in post-revolutionary France portraying the Class of Moral and Political Sciences (CMPS) of the French National Institute, its key figures, and contributions to the social sciences. Staum (history, U. of Calgary) argues that the Institute transformed ideas of the Enlightenment to maintain civil rights and uphold social stability, effectively becoming a tool to end revolutionary turmoil and establish social order while at the same time reflecting the unraveling of Enlightenment culture.

In theory the CMPS was set up to enshrine the human and social studies that were at the heart of Enlightenment culture. Staum illustrates, however, that the Institute helped transform key ideas of the Enlightenment in order to maintain civil rights while upholding social stability, and that the social and political assumptions on which it was based affected notions of social science. He traces the careers of individual members and the factions within the Institute, arguing that the discord within the CMPS reflects the unravelling of Enlightenment culture. Minerva's Message presents a valuable overview of the intellectual life of the period and brings together new evidence about the social sciences in their nascent period.

Minerva Clark is a typical thirteen-year-old girl: she hates her hair, she hates her legs (which somehow manage to look both too fat and too skinny at the same time), and don't get her started on her gigantor bootie. On top of all this puberty, she's being raised by three older brothers, none of whom really get her. But when a fateful encounter with a lightning storm rewires her sense of self, Minerva Clark becomes anything but a typical teen. With a brazen new attitude and a nose for trouble, Minerva soon finds herself drawn inexplicably to the scene of a murder and determined to track down the killer. If only all the clues weren't pointing so close to someone she knows... Visit www.minervaclark.com Bookseller Praise "I loved this book!. . . .

"Something was wrong. The window was open. I had never opened it. Aunt Puff hadn't either. Had Minerva? I looked back at her seat. Minerva's leopard-print cowboy hat lay on the floor. "Minerva!" Ludwig growled, sniffing the air. Ciber squawked furiously, banging his feathers against his cage. Smoke swirled round the chair where Minerva had been sitting. The silly hands tried to fan it away. I gulped. Ludwig covered his eyes with his paws. Minerva had vanished." Aunt Puff's old friend from the Elcarim Foundation has come for a summer visit. But, before you can say "Marbles!", Minerva has disappeared during a game of bubble gum charades. Aunt Puff, her niece Alexandra, her Great Dane Ludwig, and Minerva's cockatoo Ciber jump out of windows, battle flying fish, run from lemonade, splatter fudge on ghosts, and even fly with pinwheel power in their search for Minerva. But is someone more sinister than a muumuu wearing Siren behind Minerva's disappearance? It seems Orpheus's harp has been found. And, dragons are afoot.

A fascinating collective biography of six female scientists in eighteenth-century France, whose stories were largely written out of history This book presents the stories of six intrepid Frenchwomen of science in the Enlightenment whose accomplishments—though celebrated in their lifetimes--have been generally omitted from subsequent studies of their period: mathematician and philosopher Elisabeth Ferrand, astronomer Nicole Reine Lepaute, field naturalist Jeanne Barret, garden botanist and illustrator Madeleine Françoise Basseporte, anatomist and inventor Marie-Marguerite Biheron, and chemist Geneviève d’Arconville. By adjusting our lens, we can find them. In a society where science was not yet an established profession for men, much less women, these six audacious and inspiring figures made their mark on their respective fields of science and on Enlightenment society, as they defied gender expectations and conventional norms. Their boldness and contributions to science were appreciated by such luminaries as Franklin, the philosophes, and many European monarchs. The book is written in an unorthodox style to match the women’s breaking of boundaries.

In My Brother's Keeper: A Memoir and a Message, one of America's most admired public figures tells the story of his life. Born in Germany in 1929, Amitai Etzioni escaped the Nazi regime and as a teenager dropped out of high school to fight as a commando in the Israeli War of Independence. He went on to earn his doctorate at Berkeley, teach at Columbia University and Harvard Business School, and serve as senior advisor to the Carter White House. Although he has authored or edited over 20 books, Dr. Etzioni's influence extends beyond academic circles as the founder of the communitarian social movement. In his own words, Dr. Etzioni reflects on his vision of a society whose members care profoundly about one another, assume responsibilities and do not just demand rights, and attend not merely to themselves, but also to the common good. He traces how this message spread and is playing a significant role in the public life of the United States, United Kingdom, and many other free and liberated societies. Clearly and engagingly written, Dr. Etzioni's vision and story are at once compelling and inspiring.
