Marriages, Families, And Relationships: Making Choices In A Diverse Society Download Free (EPUB, PDF)
This best-selling text on marriages, families, and relationships combines an authoritative, yet applied approach with a theme that is especially relevant today: making choices in a diverse society. A balance of various theoretical perspectives along with many examples helps readers understand how people are influenced by the society around them, how social conditions change in ways that affect family life, the interplay between families and the larger society, and the family-related choices that individuals make throughout adulthood. Readers gain insightful perspectives on the diversity of our modern society, including different ethnic traditions and family forms, and are encouraged to question assumptions and reconcile conflicting ideas and values as they make informed choices in their own lives.

Very good! This book offers tools and concepts which are overlooked in every day life but very valuable. Although this is a textbook, I would recommend for anyone to read it.
It's heavy because of the hard cover- but it's very easy to read, it is structured nicely with great summaries, simple questions in the back as practice, easy to find out the information.
I rented the book for a college course I was taking...5 weeks in I got a notice saying I had a late charge. What College course only lasts 5-6 weeks.
Very dry educational book. Not a lot of visual learning. But I did like the fact it brings in modern knowledge of LGBQT and so on.
Very good book, interesting, a very easy and enlighting read.
Very interesting topics, love this book in the classroom.
It was exactly what I needed for class.
Arrived as advertised. in good shape,
