- Fatherhood : a history of love and power / by Sedgewick, Augustine,author.(CARDINAL)831642;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 271-292) and index.Fatherhood is one of the most meaningful aspects of human culture, but we know little about when or where fatherhood first emerged, or even how or why. Despite its enigmatic beginnings, fatherhood has, for centuries, given shape to ideas about the world, defined human experiences, and provided the foundation of patriarchy. The history of fatherhood is not just the story of one of humanity's great values: caring for those who cannot care for themselves. And it is not merely the story of patriarchy--"the power of fathers"--which is arguably the oldest and most widespread form of social hierarchy and political oppression. It is the story of how these twin strands of history became so entangled that they are often indistinguishable. In Fatherhood, celebrated historian Augustine Sedgewick explains how this style of parenting emerged in the first place, why it has changed over time, and whether it will endure as we know it, despite its extraordinary costs. Told through the lives of emblematic fathers like Aristotle, Saint Augustine, Henry VIII, Thomas Jefferson, Charles Darwin, and Sigmund Freud, this is an ambitious yet intimate look at how masculinity has evolved and how men have come to hold disproportionate power by expanding and reinforcing the power of fathers in times of crisis. Sedgewick, acclaimed for his "literary gifts and prodigious research" ( The Atlantic), takes us from the Bronze Age to the present to revolutionize our understanding of fathers and challenge the fictions that have surrounded them for centuries. Fatherhood transforms our understanding of this fundamental idea, experience, and institution, allowing us to better know our past and re-envision our common future.- Subjects: Fatherhood;

He knows firsthand the difference having a father in your life can make. Now he brings together a chorus of voices--athletes and coaches, performers, politicians and leaders of faith--to weigh in on the importance of being a father today. Isaiah Washington, Howard Dean, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Taye Diggs, Malcolm-Jamal Warner, Tony Hawk, Al Sharpton, Chuck D, and many more share what they've learned from being a father, having a father, or in some cases not having a father around. By taking an active role as fathers, men not only find their own lives more joyful and fulfilling--they pass on to the next generation a legacy of love, wisdom, responsibility, and strength.--From publisher description.- Subjects: Fatherhood.; Parenting.; Parent and child.; Fatherhood.;

- Un hijo cualquiera / by Halfon, Eduardo,1971-author.(CARDINAL)460131;
"«Escribí las historias que componen este libro durante los últimos cinco años, es decir, durante los primeros cinco años de la vida de mi hijo. Y aunque las historias de un escritor se le van cruzando como peatones o gatos en el camino, llevo cinco años caminando y escribiendo mientras sostengo en mi mano la mano de un hijo que entra y sale de esas historias, y que corre a esconderse en algunas de ellas, y que a veces hasta me susurra las suyas. Un hijo que, de pronto, me obligó a escribir como padre.» En los textos reunidos en este nuevo libro de Eduardo Halfon, la paternidad-con sus vulnerabilidades y fortalezas-es a menudo el lente a través del cual el autor revisita algunos de los temas predilectos de su universo literario. Halfon escribe sobre la infancia, el desarraigo, la muerte, la vocación de escritor o la búsqueda de la propia identidad con una economía de medios inversamente proporcional al resultado obtenido. Un libro luminoso y valiente que está entre los más personales del autor, considerado ya uno de los escritores más relevantes de la literatura latinoamericana reciente."--- Subjects: Short stories.; Fatherhood; Fatherhood.;
