Parent and child relationClass number: 306.8 Abstract: At once provocative and laugh-out-loud funny, Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother ignited a global parenting debate with its story of one mother’s journey in strict parenting. Amy Chua argues that Western parenting tries to respect and nurture children’s individuality, while Chinese parents typically believe that arming children with skills, strong work habits, and inner confidence prepares them best for the future. Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother chronicles Chua’s iron-willed decision to raise her daughters, Sophia and Lulu, the Chinese way – and the remarkable, sometimes heartbreaking results her choice inspires. Achingly honest and profoundly challenging, Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother is one of the most talked-about books of our times.

United StatesClass number: 306.8 Abstract: "Marriage, Divorce, Remarriage" explores Americans' ambivalence toward marriage : we continue to value it highly, but we also marry later, dissolve the marriages we make more readily, and are more reluctant to remarry than ever before. In a revision and enlargement, Andrew Cherlin examines the course of family life in America, including cohabitation, marriage, divorce and remarriage, from the end of World War II through the early 1990s. He also assesses the causes and consequences of these trends, ranging from the anomaly of the 1950s, when marriage rose, divorce declined, and couples had large families, to the rapid increase in cohabitation and single life. For this edition, Cherlin has updated all of the graphs and tables, and presented new findings on cohabitation and its relationship to marriage. He has also completely rewritten the chapter on black-white differences. It is now an essay on one of the most troubling public policy issues : the relations among race, poverty, and marriage. And in a new chapter, he explores the meaning of marriage in our society.

United StatesClass number: 306.8 Abstract: “Летото 2005 година, јас бев една од четирите говорници што дебатираа – на пријателски начин и на една образувана и (мора да се рече) релативно богата публика во текот на една недела – за улогата на религијата во јавниот живот во Америка. Еден од говорниците ги изрази свите сомнежи за хомосексуалниот брак и се пожали поради фактот дека ние сме немале таков вид дебата за бракот како институција каква што треба да имаме. Зачудена бев што ова собрание на видни луѓе со манири го исвирка. Исвиркувањето се слушаше од целата публика. Ова ме остави, иако јас лично не бев целта, со еден горчлив вкус во устата и искрена тага за неспособноста на вака доброобразувани луѓе, кои се влијателни и реализирани во своите полиња на интерес, да ја признаат потребата од ваква дебата. Можеби е предоцна и никогаш нема да ја имаме оваа потребна дискусија. Но можеби и не е. Ако не е, овој том ќе даде многу поголем придонес за дискусијата на повисокиот ред на интелектуална строгост и специфичност отколку што сме имале досега”.
