Description: "Drawing on his most seminal thinking, this book presents Popenoe's observations and interpretations of the great family debate. The book includes his widely cited, now classic article "American Family Decline, 1960-1990: A Review and Appraisal" as well as his path-breaking "The Evolution of Marriage and the Problem of Stepfamilies" and the influential "Can the Nuclear Family be Revived?" The writings in this book share a broad cultural, historical, and inter-disciplinary perspective. They are accessible not only to the family scholar and the family professional but to the general reader who wishes to know more about one of the truly important social issues of our time."--Jacket.
