Great Ideas For Parties With Kids

If your child has a birthday or special occasion coming up, you may be in the process of planning their party. Kid parties can be a great deal of fun, but to get to the fun part, you have to spend timing planning and coming up with creative ideas for the party. Kids are often fickle when it comes to their interests, so if you want to keep them occupied and make things exciting for your child year after year; you need to spend some time organizing and coming up with new ideas. There are times when your child will guide your decisions and it will be easy to figure out what will make them and their friends happy. Other years you may feel lost and you will be on your own creating a fun party. If your child and his friends are sports enthusiasts, consider renting a batting cage or several batting cages and baseball softball pitching machines. Kids love the idea of pretending to be major league players, so give them the chance at the party.

If your child loves to swim, consider booking a pool party. If you have a pool of your own in your backyard, this is a great cost-effective way to plan a fun party. Even without a pool, your child can still enjoy a pool party. Many neighborhood indoor and outdoor pools offer party specials that come with discount admission and use of a party space. These parties are typically a budget friendly option and you may even get additional bonuses like a birthday cake or favors.

For a water-filled party that is even more fun than a pool party, head to the closest water park. This is not an option for all kids because not all families live close enough to a water park to host a party. Water park parties can also be somewhat pricey when you consider admission for several children. However, if you do find a budget friendly option that is close enough for kids to attend, it is likely to be one of the best birthday celebrations your child will ever experience.

If your child’s birthday falls during the warmer spring and summer months or you live in a temperate climate, you can host a party at a community park. This gives kids a chance to get outside and enjoy the fresh air while they party. Many community parks feature jungle gyms, tennis courts and picnic tables, so you can really throw a fun party without much effort.

A final option for an outdoor party is to throw a kid’s party at the zoo. Kids will be surrounded by all of their favorite animals and depending on the options at your local zoo, you may find there are educational programs that show kids some of the behind the scenes action with their favorite creatures. Zoo parties can be indoor or outside and there are often some great Party Favors included with your zoo party package. Kids of all ages love attending parties at the zoo.

Political Parties in Belgium $68.51 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Belgium is a federation with a multiparty political system, with numerous parties who factually have no chance of gaining power alone, and therefore must work with each other to form coalition governments. Almost all Belgian political parties are divided into linguistic groups, either Dutchspeaking parties (see also List of political parties in Flanders), Francophone parties or germanophone parties. The Flemish parties operate in Flanders and in the BrusselsCapital Region. The Francophone parties operate in Wallonia and in the BrusselsCapital Region. There are also parties operating in the comparatively small Germanspeaking community. Political parties are thus organised along community lines, especially for the three main communities. There are no representative parties active in both communities. Even in Brussels, all parties presenting candidates are either Flemish parties, or Frenchspeaking. As such, the internal organisation of the political parties reflects the fundamentally dual nature of Belgian society.

Why Parties?: The Origin and Transformation of Political Parties in America $4.7 Why did the United States develop political parties? How and why do party alignments change? Are the party-centered elections of the past better for democratic politics than the candidate-centered elections of the present? In this landmark book, John Aldrich goes beyond the clamor of arguments over whether American political parties are in resurgence or decline and undertakes a wholesale reexamination of the foundations of the American party system. Surveying three critical episodes in the development of American political parties–from their formation in the 1790s to the Civil War–Aldrich shows how parties serve to combat three fundamental problems of democracy: how to regulate the number of people seeking public office; how to mobilize voters; and how to achieve and maintain the majorities needed to accomplish goals once in office. Overcoming these obstacles, argues Aldrich, is possible only with political parties. Aldrich brings this innovative account up to date by looking at the profound changes in the character of political parties since World War II. In the 1960s, he shows, parties started to become candidate-centered organizations that are servants to their office seekers and officeholders. Aldrich argues that this development has revitalized parties, making them stronger, and more vital, with well-defined cleavages and highly effective governing ability.

Stonecash examine the process of gradual change that inexorably shapes and reshapes American politics. Parties and the politicians that comprise them seek control of government in order to implement their visions of proper public policy. To gain control parties need to win elections, and winning elections requires assembling an electoral coalition that is larger than that crafted by the opposition. Parties are always looking for opportunities to build such winning coalitions, and opportunities are always there, but they are rarely, if ever, without risk. Uncertainty rules and intra-party conflict rages as different factions and groups within the parties debate the proper course(s) of action and battle it out for control of the party. Parties can never be sure how their strategic maneuvers will play out, and, even when it appears that a certain strategy has been successful, party leaders are unclear about how long apparent success will last. Change unfolds slowly, in fits and starts.

A Theory of Parties and Electoral Systems $28.99 Political parties and elections are the mainsprings of modern democracy. In this classic volume, Richard S. Katz explores the problem of how a given electoral system affects the role of political parties and the way in which party members are elected. He develops and tests a theory of the differences in the cohesion, ideological behavior, and issue orientation of Western parliamentary parties on the basis of the electoral systems under which they compete. A standard in the field of political theory and thought, The Theory of Parties and the Electoral System contributes to a better understanding of parliamentary party structures and demonstrates the wide utility of the rationalistic approach for explaining behavior derived from the self-interest of political actors.

Why Parties?: A Second Look $25.99 Since its first appearance fifteen years ago, "Why Parties? "has become essential reading for anyone wishing to understand the nature of American political parties. In the interim, the party system has undergone some radical changes. In this landmark book, now rewritten for the new millennium, John H. Aldrich goes beyond the clamor of arguments over whether American political parties are in resurgence or decline and undertakes a wholesale reexamination of the foundations of the American party system. Surveying critical episodes in the development of American political parties—from their formation in the 1790s to the Civil War—Aldrich shows how they serve to combat three fundamental problems of democracy: how to regulate the number of people seeking public office, how to mobilize voters, and how to achieve and maintain the majorities needed to accomplish goals once in office. Aldrich brings this innovative account up to the present by looking at the profound changes in the character of political parties since World War II, especially in light of ongoing contemporary transformations, including the rise of the Republican Party in the South, and what those changes accomplish, such as the Obama Health Care plan. Finally, "Why Parties? A Second Look "offers a fuller consideration of party systems in general, especially the two-party system in the United States, and explains why this system is necessary for effective democracy.

British Political Parties Today $3.95 This important new book, one of the first to reflect the 1997 election result and its effects, reassesses the major political parties in Britain–their ideals, organizations, finances, electoral prospects and the effect they have upon British society. The authors begin by clarifying the functions of political parties, before examining their policies and the extent to which there is a consensus in modern British politics. The shifting nature of Britain’s party system is then dissected, before a much closer look is taken at the structure, leadership and membership of Britain’s three major parties. A separate chapter also inspects the parties of Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, offering a fresh perspective on their priorities and internal organization. Although the book has a strong historical content, it also takes a sharp look at British politics under the new Labor government, while considering the state of the Tory party under William Hague. The likely effect of a more intrusive European Union is also embraced.

Parties, Policies, and Democracy $17.95 In democracies, contemporary politics "is" party politics, and parties serve to organize the political process even as they ensure democratic representation of minority and majority policy preferences. How do they do this? In great part, as this ambitious survey shows, parties translate policy preferences into policy priorities by articulating and enacting clearly defined party platforms. There is, this international author team demonstrates, a strong connection between what parties say they will do in an election campaign and what they actually do when elected. In sum, we are shown that political parties deserve more credit than they often receive.This book addresses questions central to the operation of modern democracies and can be used to inform institutional development in emerging democracies. It is at once an ambitious summary of original research and a model text for students of comparative politics. First the theory and method are introduced. Then, ten key countries are covered in parallel detail, with the discussions proceeding from general consideration of institutional and political context and program and party trends to more specific examinations of the congruence between party programs and policy outcomes. The data for all countries and parties span the post-World War II period up to the late 1980s. The analyses employ agenda, mandate, and ideology models and expenditure analyses across key policy arenas.Because of its commitment to comparative rather than merely descriptive analysis, "Parties, Policies, and Democracy" offers convincing answers to basic questions about the functioning of democratic political systems. Rigorous comparative analysis of forty years’ experience across ten countries demonstrates that political parties in contemporary democracies work better than critics have claimed. This is important news for emerging democracies just now establishing institutions and policies that bear watching over the "next" forty-year period.

Courts and Political Parties $121.08 How does the relationship between political parties and constitutional justices affect judicial independence? The separation of powers theory asserts that the ruling party has less influence on judges under divided government (when the President does not have a majority in congress) and consequently has no impeachment or other courtcurbing powers. This book shows that political parties can exert strong leverage on justices, even under divided government, if opposition parties can form a legislative coalition to control the reappointment of these justices. It contends that judicial independence is constrained when justices have short terms and are reappointed by congress, irrespective of whether the government is divided or unified. Using Ecuador as a case study the book challenges these standard assumptions in judicial politics. The study provides key information and new perspectives for students of comparative judicial politics, Latin American Politics and Latin American Law.

On the Side of the Angels: An Appreciation of Parties and Partisanship $17.29 Political parties are the defining institutions of representative democracy and the darlings of political science. Their governing and electoral functions are among the chief concerns of the field. Yet most political theorists–including democratic theorists–ignore or disparage parties as grubby arenas of ambition obstacles to meaningful political participation and deliberation. On the Side of the Angels is a vigorous defense of the virtues of parties and partisanship and their worth as a subject for political theory. Nancy Rosenblum’s account moves between political theory and political science and she uses resources from both fields to outline an appreciation of parties and the moral distinctiveness of partisanship. She draws from the history of political thought and identifies the main lines of opposition to parties as well as the rare but significant moments of appreciation. Rosenblum then sets forth her own theoretical appreciation of parties and partisanship. She discusses the achievement of parties in regulating rivalries channeling political energies and creating the lines of division that make pluralist politics meaningful. She defends "partisan" as a political identity over the much-vaunted status of "independent " and she considers where contemporary democracies should draw the line in banning parties. On the Side of the Angels offers an ethics of partisanship that speaks to questions of centrism extremism and polarization in American party politics. By rescuing parties from their status as orphans of political philosophy Rosenblum fills a significant void in political and democratic theory.

The Left Parties in Russia (19891992) $180.02 In the late period of the Soviet Union a number of radical changes were introduced by Mikhail Gorbachev under the Perestroika reforms in an effort to stave off a collapse of the bureaucratic system. Among these was the introduction of semidemocratic reforms that saw limited elections. Politics was reinventing itself from the top down at a rapid pace. The collapse of the USSR and the subsequent economic and social crisis in Russia radically changed forever the political landscape in this ountry. The multiparty system replaced the communist party domination. The rapidly developed social and property differentiation, the complexity and depth of a crisis, the ideological confrontation, the low level of the political culture and some other factors determined the diversity and instability of the multiparty system in Russia, including its leftwing spectrum. The Left Parties in Russia by Evgeny Pashentsev is a unique source for those who need documentary information and statistics on nine Russian political parties. In this single volume you will find comprehensive coverage that is hard to acquire elsewhere, material has been drawn from an impressive number of diverse sources.

Parties and People: England 1914-1951 $43.52 The ’sequel’ to his best-selling Classes and Cultures, Ross McKibbin’s latest book is a powerful reinterpretation of British politics in the first decades of universal suffrage. What did it mean to be a ‘democratic society’? To what extent did voters make up their own minds on politics or allow elites to do it for them? Exploring the political culture of these extraordinary years, Parties and People shows that class became one of the principal determinants of political behaviour, although its influence was often surprisingly weak. McKibbin argues that the kind of democracy that emerged in Britain was far from inevitable-as much historical accident as design-and was in many ways highly flawed.

Democracy and the Organization of Political Parties $39.48 The two volumes of Moisei Ostrogorski’s work, published in 1902 and long out of print in this century, are the fi rst serious attempt to analyze the consequences of democratic sufferage by a comparative analysis of political systems and had a profound eff ect on the subsequent writings of Max Weber and Robert Michels. Ostrogorski approached his analysis by a detailed history of the rise and changes in the party system in England and the United States, the first two nations to introduce mass suff rage. Although subsequent research has suggested the need to modify some of his historical statements, the books remain amazingly authoritative, and recent empirical studies conducted in this country have borne out many of Ostrogorski’s fi ndings. Most current books on political parties acknowledge Ostrogorski as a major source of knowledge and ideas. His writings continue to be relevant to ongoing concerns in Britain and the United States.

Labour Candidates and Parties in Canada $70.1 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles There have been various groups in Canada that have nominated candidates under the label Labour Party or Independent Labour Party or other variations from the 1870s until the 1960s. These were usually local or provincial groups using the Labour Party or Independent Labour Party name, backed by local Labour Councils (made up of all the union locals in a city) or individual trade unions. There was an attempt to create a national Canadian Labour Party in the 1920s, but this was ultimately unsuccessful. A number of local Labour parties and clubs participated in the formation of the Communist Party of Canada in 1921. The Independent Labour Party and other labour groups helped found the Cooperative Commonwealth Federation (CCF) in 1932.

Catching The Wolf Of Wall Street: More Incredible True Stories Of Fortunes, Schemes, Parties, And Prison $16.79 In the go-go nineties Jordan Belfort proved to Wall Street that you didn’t need to be on Wall Street to make a fortune in the stock market. But his company, Stratton Oakmont, worked differently. His young Long Island wannabes didn’t know from turnaround plans or fiduciary trust. Instead, they knew how to separate wealthy investors from their cash, and spend it as fast as it came in on hookers, yachts, and drugs. But when Jordan’s empire crashed, the man who had become legend was cornered into a five-year stint cooperating with the feds. This continuation of his Wall Street Journal bestseller, The Wolf of Wall Street , tells the true story of his spectacular flameout and imprisonment for stock fraud. In this astounding account, Wall Street’s notorious bad boy and original million-dollar-a-month stock chopper leads us through a drama worthy of The Sopranos , from his early rise to power to the FBI raid on his estate to the endless indictments at his arrest, to his deal with a bloodthirsty prosecutor to rat out his oldest friends and colleagues while they were doing the same. With his kingdom in ruin, not to mention his marriage, the Wolf faced his greatest challenge yet: how to navigate a gauntlet of judges and lawyers, hold on to his kids and his enraged model wife and possibly salvage his self-respect. It wasn’t going to be easy. In fact, for a man with an unprecedented appetite for excess, it was going to be hell. From a wired conversation at an Italian restaurant, where Jordan’s conscience finally kicks in, to a helicopter ride with an underage knockout that will become his ultimate undoing, here is the tale of a young genius on a roller coaster of harrowing highs and more harrowing lows. But as the countdown to his moment in court begins, after one last crazy bout with a madcap Russian beauty queen, the man at the center of one of the most outrageous scandals in financial history sees the light of what matters most: his sobriety, and his future as a father and a man. Will a prison term be his first step toward redemption? From the Hardcover edition.

21: Bringing Down the House: The Inside Story of Six M.I.T. Students Who Took Vegas for Millions $0.01 It’s Friday night and you’re on a red-eye to the city of sin. Strapped to your chest is half a million dollars; in your overnight bag is another twenty-five thousand in blackjack chips; and your wallet holds ten fake IDs. As soon as you land in Las Vegas, you are positive you are being investigated and followed. To top it all off, the IRS is auditing you, someone has been going through your mail — and you have a multivariable calculus exam on Monday morning. Welcome to the world of an exclusive group of audacious MIT math geniuses who legally took the casinos for over three million dollars — while still finding time for college keg parties, football games, and final exams. In the midst of the go-go eighties and nineties, a group of overachieving, anarchistic MIT students joined a decades-old underground blackjack club dedicated to counting cards and beating the system at major casinos around the world. While their classmates were working long hours in labs and libraries, the blackjack team traveled weekly to Las Vegas and other glamorous gambling locales, with hundreds of thousands of dollars duct-taped to their bodies. Underwritten by shady investors they would never meet, these kids bet fifty thousand dollars a hand, enjoyed VIP suites and other upscale treats, and partied with showgirls and celebrities. Handpicked by an eccentric mastermind — a former MIT professor and an obsessive player who had developed a unique system of verbal cues, body signals, and role-playing — this one ring of card savants earned more than three million dollars from corporate Vegas, making them the object of the casinos’ wrath and eventually targets of revenge. Here is their inside story, revealing their secrets for the first time. Master storyteller Ben Mezrich takes you from the ivory towers of academia to the Technicolor world of Las Vegas, where anything can happen — and often does. Bringing Down the House launches you into the seedy underworld of corporate Ve

2cool2btrue $0.99 They’re moving on up… Charlie Barrett, male model, is ready for a career change. It’s not that modeling for ten years hasn’t been fun — the Paris shows, the VIP lists, the cool flat and even cooler model girlfriend. But he and Lauren are probably going to get married and have kids someday so it’s time for him to find a job that offers more challenge than tilting his head left or right. Lovely Lauren seems poised to break into TV, so when a chance meeting results in Charlie’s being offered the job as the face of 2cool2btrue, he readily accepts. “Power couple” here they come! But something’s going down. 2cool is the web equivalent of Armani, Prada, and Gucci. It’s the sexiest thing in cyberspace and everyone wants a piece of it. As its marketing guru, Charlie spends his days wading through a sea of luxury products and designer freebies and his nights in a whirl of parties and champagne. When Nora, an American journalist based in London, takes a particular interest in the site — and in Charlie — the buzz is definitely on. But suddenly 2cool’s owners disappear with a large amount of money and Charlie finds himself investigated for fraud. With Lauren too preoccupied with TV producer Peter to help, the only person Charlie can turn to is Nora. And Nora — clumsy, eccentric, and increasingly mysterious — is fast proving herself to be 2hot2handle.

A Town by the River $3.99 A Town by the River is a fictional tale that revolves around Anirban, the protagonist, his college days, his first love and brief flirtation with left-wing politics considered fashionable in those days and his childhood. The first few chapters of the book dwell at length on the prevalent political situation when political parties were tremendously hostile to one another. Vendettas by way of slaying were a common sight. Several young lives were lost in such turbulent political situations. Stringing together a variety of events and characters in a narrative canvas, the book focuses on the time and life in a small town, where the townsfolk, especially the kids, always welcomed carefree excitements from otherwise subdued life, be it in the form of festivities, football matches or simple outings. The strength of the book lies in its descriptive details of the milieu, the people and more importantly, the charming river. Earthy smell and myriad of colours and the river that lazily went past the town held a special attraction for the young and old.

At the Speed of Twisted Thought… $11.99 Wow, think hardcore punk in 1980 as it was in the days of California or England, pre-Henry Rollins Black Flag or those yobs from Stoke-on-Trent in the U.K., or even Dischord in Washington, D.C. This was Lansing, MI, heart of the rust belt and as rusty and messed up as Detroit. The Fix, a paint-peeling aggro quartet, were tearing up basements, restaurants, and even frat parties with their brand of light-speed uncontrolled aggression and no-future (after all, they lived in the center of it) simplicity. They were howling to the all-but-deaf masses (remember that where the Fix came from, rock bands were doing Journey, Styx, and Bob Seger covers in bars to get the cash from drunken college kids). There were a few dozen in Lansing who got the message — Tesco Vee was one of them and had the cojones and craziness to put them out on his fledgling Touch & Go label, the logical outgrowth of his and Dave Stimson’s cool-ass D.I.Y. punk rag. And now, 26 years later when the pair — and the cats in this band — are middle-age codgers, Corey Rusk, who inherited the Touch & Go label and made it the standard for indie labels since that time, issues both singles (the Vengeance 7″ and Jan’s Room EP), a compilation cut, outtakes from the Jan’s Room sessions, and a live tape of unknown origin on one shiny little silver platter. Yeah! It’s for those who were there, those who wish they were, and those who only read about this mysterious punk rock band that helped to define the Midwest’s hardcore scene. This is proof that the legend more than lives up to its whispered-in-revered-tones hype. Guitarist Craig Calvert (who shattered all the original racial stereotypes of punk), “singer” Steve Miller, drummer Jeff Wellman, and bassist Mike Achtenberg were it. There are 24 unruly, unbridled, completely savage cuts on this slab, all of them worth your left arm if hardcore — the real thing — is it. There aren’t words to describe the sheer savage wail and whomp of this baby — just slap it …

Back From The Dead $6.95 Tim Gaines was the town pariah. Mocked and teased continuously since he was in the sixth grade, he approaches his senior year of high school with a sense of cautious trepidation. Years before, when he was in the sixth grade, a group of boys led by Scott Bradfield—a popular, well-liked kid from well-to-do parents—spread a vicious rumor that he was a devil-worshipper.

It’s a rumor Tim can’t beat, and one he sometimes feels he’s brought on to himself due to his love of horror novels and movies.Now Tim has become friends with a loose-knit group of kids who have also become social outcasts thanks to other rumors spread about them by the student elite. With their mutual support, Tim has begun to come out of his shell. He’s going out with them, being invited to parties, and even begins to have a romantic interest in a girl, something he never thought would happen to him in high school.But all that will change when Scott Bradfield and his friends set their sights on Tim again. Only this time, they need his help. Like most of the student body of Spring Valley High School, they sincerely believe Tim Gaines is a devil-worshipper. And they believe he has a dark power. Now they want to use him and that power for their own sinister plight……To bring back the dead homeless man they’d kidnapped and brutally beaten to a pulp in the guesthouse that resides on the Bradfield residence.They want him brought back not because they’re scared of getting caught for his murder, but so they can savagely beat and murder him again……and again…

Beats Rhymes and Life: What We Love and Hate about Hip-Hop $19 Our generation made hip-hop. But hip-hop also made us. Why are suburban kids referring to their subdivision as “block”? Why has the pimp become a figure of male power? Why has dodging the feds become an act of honor long after one has made millions as a legitimate artist? What happens when fantasy does more harm than reality?—From the IntroductionHip-hop culture has been in the mainstream for years. Suburban teens take their fashion cues from Diddy and expect to have Three 6 Mafia play their sweet-sixteen parties. From the “Boogie Down Bronx” to the heartland, hip-hop’s influence is major. But has the movement taken a wrong turn? In Beats Rhymes and Life, hot journalists Kenji Jasper and Ytasha Womack have focused on what they consider to be the most prominent symbols of the genre: the fan, the turntable, the ice, the dance floor, the shell casing, the buzz, the tag, the whip, the ass, the stiletto, the (pimp’s) cane, the coffin, the cross, and the corner. Each is the focus of an essay by a journalist who skillfully dissects what their chosen symbol means to them and to the hip-hop community.The collection also features many original interviews with some of rap’s biggest stars talking candidly about how they connect to the culture and their fans. With a foreword by the renowned scholar Michael Eric Dyson, Beats Rhymes and Life is an innovative and daring look at the state of the hip-hop nation.

Blue Boy $12 Meet Kiran Sharma: lover of music, dance, and all things sensual; son of immigrants, social outcast, spiritual seeker. A boy who doesn’t quite understand his lot—until he realizes he’s a god. . .As an only son, Kiran has obligations—to excel in his studies, to honor the deities, to find a nice Indian girl, and, above all, to make his mother and father proud—standard stuff for a boy of his background. If only Kiran had anything in common with the other Indian kids besides the color of his skin. They reject him at every turn, and his cretinous public schoolmates are no better. Cincinnati in the early 1990s isn’t exactly a hotbed of cultural diversity, and Kiran’s not-so-well-kept secrets don’t endear him to any group. Playing with dolls, choosing ballet over basketball, taking the annual talent show way too seriously. . .the very things that make Kiran who he is also make him the star of his own personal freak show. . . Surrounded by examples of upstanding Indian Americans—in his own home, in his temple, at the weekly parties given by his parents’ friends—Kiran nevertheless finds it impossible to get the knack of “normalcy.” And then one fateful day, a revelation: perhaps his desires aren’t too earthly, but too divine. Perhaps the solution to the mystery of his existence has been before him since birth. For Kiran Sharma, a long, strange trip is about to begin—a journey so sublime, so ridiculous, so painfully beautiful, that it can only lead to the truth. . . “The best fiction reminds us that humanity is much, much larger than our personal world, our own little reality. Blue Boy shows us a world too funny and sad and sweet to bebased on anything but the truth.” —Chuck Palahniuk New York Times Bestselling AuthorRakesh Satyal is a graduate of Princeton University, where he studied comparative literature and writing.

Born to Buy: A Groundbreaking Expose of a Marketing Culture That Makes Children Believe They Are What They Own. (USA Today) $0.25 Marketing targeted at kids is virtually everywhere — in classrooms and textbooks, on the Internet, even at Girl Scout meetings, slumber parties, and the playground. Product placement and other innovations have introduced more subtle advertising to movies and television. Drawing on her own survey research and unprecedented access to the advertising industry, Juliet B. Schor, New York Times bestselling author of The Overworked American, examines how marketing efforts of vast size, scope, and effectiveness have created “commercialized children.” Ads and their messages about sex, drugs, and food affect not just what children want to buy, but who they think they are. In this groundbreaking and crucial book, Schor looks at the consequences of the commercialization of childhood and provides guidelines for parents and teachers. What is at stake is the emotional and social well-being of our children. Like Barbara Ehrenreich’s Nickel and Dimed, Mary Pipher’s Reviving Ophelia, and Malcolm Gladwell’s The Tipping Point, Born to Buy is a major contribution to our understanding of a contemporary trend and its effects on the culture.
