Families helps students gain a thorough understanding of the social context in which they live and the relevance of social science to their lives. Author Karen Seccombe captures the compelling relationship and family issues of our time via a fresh perspective — one that places individual relationships in their social context so that students can more fully understand why they make the choices they do.
