Few fields of endeavour encompass a wider range of themes and topics--or academic disciplines--as family studies. The Wiley Blackwell Encyclopedia of Family Studies presents a comprehensive, interdisciplinary collection of the key concepts, trends, and processes relating to the study of families and family patterns throughout the world.

Reflecting the latest research findings, and contributed from international experts across many relevant fields, alphabetized entries represent a remarkable compendium of topics, concepts, and themes relating to global family structures--on both a macro and micro level. From a global perspective, issues covered range from changing birth rates, fertility, and an aging world population to human trafficking, homelessness, famine, and genocide. Other topics, relating to the dynamics of couple, family, and kin relationships range from household divisions of labor, single parent households, stepfamilies, and innumerable others.

With remarkable insights into global family patterns, a breadth of topic coverage, and a wide range of interdisciplinary approaches to this dynamic field, The Wiley Blackwell Encyclopedia of Family Studies is an invaluable resource for all who study and work in any capacity with families throughout the world community.
