Summary: Helpful Tool
Comment: I personally believe that this book does a good job on breaking all of the information down. It is more of an overview of the family, which I think is helpful for an introductory course. I think it is a good book!

Rating: 1
Summary: Don't bother reading this book
Comment: I read this book for a Sociology class and was not impressed. The book contained many factual errors. More importantly, the book is offensive to any moral person. The author took every opportunity to beat up on religious people and their beliefs.

I don't think that it's unreasonable to assume that the author is a devout socialist. Furthurmore, the author did a good job of accusing white Christian males of causing all of the world's problems. I would highly recommend that you don't read this book.

Summary: Limited textbook on marrige and the family
Comment: This is the standard textbook for studying marriage and the family, unfortunately. It is quite a good introduction with interdiscplinary perspectives from thee authors, but their underlying definition of "family" is inherently flawed. The traditinal "family" definition is not covered, nor are alternatives to contraception and abortion like chastisty and nurturing women who want to keep their baby.

Someone needs to write a similiar textbook without this underlying bias. I hope there is a publisher out there that will agree.
