Families in Context
The most thoroughly updated edition yet, this book offers students perspectives of changes in marriage and family over time, including the impact of the Great Recession and of new media technologies.

Beyond presenting thoroughly updated statistics and literature, each chapter examines new trends and assesses their implications for students' lives. The underlying presentation remains balanced, theoretically grounded, and accessible to a wide variety of classes, allowing students of all ages and family backgrounds to draw their own conclusions about controversial topics. Features of the new edition include coverage of the Affordable Care Act; new social media and families; the latest trends in poverty, education, social mobility, gender, identities and healthcare; updated 'In the News' features and author-created PowerPoint slides.

Sex and Sexuality
Looking at sexuality openly and in the general social context of our culture and viewing the intra-societal influences on the individual's perception of himself makes us aware of the pain individuals encounter because of sexual repression, as well as the pain caused by overindulgence and obsessive concern. This book is an attempt to establish this awareness by combining theory, research results and analyses which permits us to look at the newer codes in relationship to non-marital, premarital, extra-marital, and marital sexuality. Although half the adult population (no matter what their personal practice may be) believes that sexual intercourse should take place only in the marriage relationship, such statistics give us only a partial picture. The issues which emerge are complex and dependent on individual circumstances, differences found in the norms of varied groups, and the vast array of changes present in society. Theory, research and issues in the area of sexuality are discussed within three conceptual frameworks, the family, society, and the individual as independent systems.
