Marriages and Families in the 21st Century puts contemporary relationships and family structures in context for today's students. Using a bioecological framework, the book reveals how families are shaped by multiple influences, from biological to cultural, that interact with one another. Chapters cover topics from parenting to gender issues within an interdisciplinary context, weaving in stories, visuals, and examples of diverse families to dispel longstanding myths. The book creates a personalized learning experience with frequent self-assessments and strengths exercises, while ensuring that students come to understand the research and build scientific analysis and critical thinking skills along the way.

Industry Reviews

"Howe does a superb job of keeping students reminded of the multiple influences on family and individual. Many textbooks are missing this organizational element."

-- Alicia Drais-Parrillo

"I like that the author blends history, anthropology, psychology, biology & sociology into one text. It is how this topic must be addressed."

-- Andrea G. Weyermann

"I like how the author is careful to address different ethnicities and types of couples (e.g., multi-racial; gay/lesbian; etc.), esp. vis-a-vis the standard North American family."

-- Mo Therese Hannah
"The author found ways to bring 'the self' into the discussion on relationships. Students really need to relate, and the author finds many ways to open that up for students."
-- Carol Fealey
