About Book
From Library Journal
This book provides quick information on contemporary family lifestyles in over 600 entries covering a wide range of subjects. Unfortunately, there are some surprising omissions. Thus, because of an apparent absence of any organizing principle for choice of subjects or rationale for the space devoted to each item, we find an entry for fast food impact on families but none for gay, lesbian, or homosexuality impact. Some entries are given a few pages while others of apparently equal importance get only a few lines. The absence of systematic cross-referencing within the text leads to a repetition of the same ideas under different headings. It also leads to the same issue appearing under multiple heads, i.e., entries for domestic violence, spouse abuse, and wife battering examine the same subject. While the lay reader will find this reference provides quick access to a wide range of family issues, the book's drawbacks will give librarians cause for concern. - John M.
