Public and Private Families: An Introduction (8th Edition)

This eighth edition provides an in-depth look at the history of families across the globe while integrating contemporary sociological topics such as same-sex marriage, self-identification, and the ongoing globalization and modernization of family structures.
This edition features integrated pedagogical tools, including SmartBook technology. This adaptive learning system is designed to guide students through key concepts, helping them to master, recall, and apply sociological theories effectively.
