Description
This best-selling reader on families and intimate relationships identifies the most current trends and places them in historical context. The reader balances cutting-edge scholarship with perennial favorites. Many selections support the authors+ claim of a triple revolution transforming contemporary family life: the move to a postindustrial service and information economy; a life course revolution brought about by reduced mortality and fertility; and psychological changes rooted in rising educational levels. Anyone looking for a collection of classic and contemporary readings on the sociology of the family.
