 | The Six Stages of Parenthood by Ellen Galinsky
Almost all books for parents focus on the way children develop. Ellen Galinsky, instead, writes about how parents develop. Drawing on the work in adult development of Erik Erikson and DanielLevinson, she describes six distinct stages in the life of a parent: the image-making that occurs during pregnancy; the nurturing rolethat swallows parents up from birth through the first couple of years; the authority parents must develop as small children showindependence; the interpretive stage when parents explain the world and their values to school-age children.

 | Blue by Michel Pastoureau
For much of human history, blue was a color associated with peasants and mourning; it began to take its place as the fashionable and universally beloved color we know today began in the Middle Ages with the cult of Mary and with the use of blue in French coats of arms--both facilitated by improvements in dyes and pigments. This history of blue takes the color through that period and into modern times, with stops along the way for the Dutch masters, Picasso's blue period, denim jeans, navy uniforms, and the blues.
