Zusatztext

’Anyone interested in families and households will find here a stimulating synthesis of empirical and theoretical work from a variety of different intellectual perspectives. An original and wide ranging book...’ Jan Pahl, University of Kent, UK '...a very useful work, because the authors focus precisely on ways of explicating "what goes on inside the 'black box' of households"...it neatly summarizes the theoretical approaches to the family household in various contemporary family sciences, and effectively discusses the multiplicity of approaches useful for understanding what transpires (and, perhaps, transpired in the past) inside "the black box".' International Review of Social History
