This unique anthology provides—in a single, affordable source—readings that represent the three major perspectives— conservative, centrist, liberal/feminist—on 16 important and controversial marriage and family-related topics. It offers an alternative to the other “taking sides” and “opposing viewpoints” readers on the market, and features solid pedagogy that encourages students to sort intelligently through the issues and perspectives, to think for themselves, and to developinformed opinions. Edited by one of the best selling Marriage and the Family authors, Nijole V. Benokraitis.
