How Families Still Matter - Bengtson, Vern L. (University of Southern California) a Biblarz, Timothy J. (University of Southern California) a Roberts, Robert E. L. (California State University, Northridge)

This book casts doubt on much of the common wisdom about family decline during the last decades of the twentieth century. It finds that parents are no less important in shaping the careers and achievements of youth than they were a generation ago, despite divorce and working mothers.
