Reinventing Childhood After World War II$27.79In the Western world, the modern view of childhood as a space protected from broader adult society first became a dominant social vision during the nineteenth century. Many of the West's sharpest portrayals of children in literature and the arts emerged at that time in both Europe and the United States and continue to organize our perceptions and sensibilities to this day.

The Cambridge History of Law in America 3 Volume$311.10Law stands at the center of modern American life. Since the 1950s, American historians have produced an extraordinarily rich and diverse account of law and legal institutions in American history. But even though our knowledge has increased enormously, few attempts have been made to draw its many parts together in some greater whole that summarizes and synthesizes the history of law in America. The Cambridge History of Law in America has been designed for just this purpose.

The text focuses on aspects of how recognition learning, reinforcement learning, and motor learning interact to generate adaptive goal-oriented behaviors that can satisfy internal needs -- an important topic for understanding brain function as well as for designing new types of autonomous robots.
