Marriages and Families Census Update Plus MySocLab with eText -- Access Card Package (7th Edition)
I liked this book, because I feel it is very readable and understandable, especially for freshmen or non-majors. In addition, Benokraitis gives very detailed and relevant examples or scenarios relating to the concepts covered in the respectable chapter. The book is extremely interesting and enjoyable.Moshe BraunsteinJersey CityUniversity Very current and extremely informative about the family, both historically and in contemporary society.  I also think that the author has a way of writing about the material so that the content is provocative and the issues really come alive for the reader.Prof. Kathryn BonachIndianaUniversity of Pennsylvania I think this is one of the most “teachable” texts I have read on this subject.  Even if the instructor doesn’t think of a question a student may want to ask, the author has already done that for us in the “since you asked” section.  I like the current trends in research that are discussed as well.  It lends credibility to the instructor to know about current things in the field and the author has done a good job of incorporating that in the chapters.Prof. Michelle KnolesCowleyCounty Community College This is an engaging text.  Benokraitis has achieved an admirable goal – her text is interesting and detailed but not dry, fun and applied but still academically strong.  Very well done.Prof. Erica Owens YeagerWest VirginiaUniversity I found the text easy to read and very interesting. The examples are timely and up to date.  Students can remember these events and that will help them make connections between real-world events and course material. The graphics and pictures are excellent [and] will help students comprehend an often difficult and abstract topic of theory for them.Prof. Darby SewellAbraham Baldwin Agricultural College
