  "Because students live in such a peer culture, with relatively little contact with people of different ages and backgrounds, this makes it more difficult for them to relate ( to prospective employers)," said Gary Cross, a history professor at Penn State's main campus.

  Written as an introductory text, Cross describes, synthesizes, and provides a broad theoretical framework within which to understand the emergence of leisure as a central feature of the modern world.While recreation and leisure are receiving increasing attention from historians, to date there had been no book which provided a broad-based understanding for the beginning student of the subject.Cross has achieved a rare feat - a book which will be of interest to both beginning students and historians.

  The noteworthy thing about turn-of-the-century Daisy-type guns, says Penn State history professor Gary Cross, is that these "toys" were marketed to adults.One 1890 catalogue billed its air rifle as "just the thing to make the neighbor's cat scratch and growl and doggy fly for home"; another similar rifle was advertised as a parlor game.Pest control and family entertainment, not shoot-'em-ups in the backyard.
  
  Though Montgomery Ward did make pretend brigade guns for children, they were paired with miniature drums and ceremonial swords.They appealed to make-believe military parading and patriotism, writes Cross in his book "Kids Stuff: Toys and the Changing World of American Childhood."
  
  "Toy guns in this era were about history and an introduction to manhood," he said in an interview.

  Gary Cross, a professor of history at Pennsylvania State University, and the author of "Kids' Stuff: Toys and the Changing World of American Childhood" looks at Mattel's recall of China-made toys in today's New York Times and argues that it may be time to "rethink the decision to allow the unrestricted advertising and cartoon promotion of toy lines that has produced year-round marketing and piles of plastic toys, bought and soon discarded."
  
  "After all," he says, "we ought to be just as concerned about the impact of character licensing and toy advertising on our children's psyche as we are on protecting them from ingesting leaded paint and magnets."
  
  He gives an interesting overview of the evolution of the toy industry, showing how the number of toys based on licensed characters (easily promoted in film and in TV programs that are essentially extended ads) shot from 10% in 1980 to 60% in 1987.
