Turning Points, Historical and Sociological Essays on the Family
The aim of this volume recalls the old signs at railroad Stop, Look, and Listen. Yet this image would not by itself convey the full measure of the opportunity available to both family historians and family sociologists. For what one finds here is more than a simple crossing; there is, rather, a convergence of effort in the two disciplines which can readily support a reciprocal exchange of concepts and research techniques as well as data sources. 413 pages.
