Reviews for Families in Transition
"This fascinating contemporary revisitation of a classic study provides a rigorous corrective to glib assertions about social change in families and communities. The authors skillfully blend theoretical arguments and empirical evidence in an accessible and thought-provoking assessment of the nature of change and continuity."
