Customer Review: This is one of the finer books I've ever had the pleasure of reading. If you are a teacher, you need to get this book. Ron Clark is amazing and gives a boost to us teachers who need it.
Customer Review: I foolishly purchased this book before reading the reviews and was struck straight away at how the author carelessly alternates between historical fact and myths and legends. I was very disappointed in this as children need to know that there is a very important difference, and how to tell the... more info

Customer Review: It's very nice to have a parenting book that doesn't waste time or pages waxing lyrical about mythologies and instead just gets down to the business of raising intelligent and ethical children.

Customer Review: This 14th edition of a classic text in family studies provides an excellent look at family styles in the early 21st century.
