Child Rearing in the Home and School
This volume is intended to address contemporary aspects of child rearing in the home and the school, as well as major dimensions of inter face between the home and the school. The authors of these chapters have used varying styles and approaches, and the range of perspectives is very broad and inclusive. An essential notion integrating all chapters is that child rearing is a human ecological concern of dominant importance for the home, the school, and the community during the 1980's and that this will continue to be true in the future. This volume is intended to be useful as a reference book, as a text, for researchers and for policy-makers. It is hoped that the volume also will be of use to...
Remaking Home Economics
An interdisciplinary effort of scholars from history, women's studies, and family and consumer sciences, Remaking Home Economics covers the field's history of opening career opportunities for women and responding to domestic and social issues.

Lifelong Learning in the Nation's Third Century
This publication presents an overview of adult education in the United States, based on information from a variety of expert sources. The Bureau of Occupational and Adult Education (BOAE) requested a set of study documents to aid in developing position statements that reflected the Bureau's view of the chief issues surrounding the concept of lifelong learning. This synthesis is an attempt to draw together the content of these studies, to provide a manageable and accurate portrayal of the massive set of materials. These documents, over a thousand pages, addressed-in detail and in depth-the following broad topics: (1) An overview of the state of adult learning in the United States today; (2) Evaluation of the benefits of adult learning; (3) Projections of, with estimates for, future needs of American society and the implications for adult learning; (4) Assessments of the major problems confronting today's adult learners. The chief caution to be considered, based on this examination of the study documents, is that future developments will be difficult if present disagreements among the experts persist.
