Reviews

<p> [F]ascinating and most readable book.... [M]ake[s] a very necessary contribution to our knowledge of socialization processes in Britain. In particular, it provides an interesting picture of the variation of social norms and values between different socio-economic groups. <p> --Sheila Mitchell, The British Journal of Sociology
