Forth, US, Men and Masculinities, 2008 This book will be of interest to a variety of scholars, especially those whose working terrain is national and regional and who are looking for a decent overview of studies, research issues and methodological caveats.

Janssen, The Netherlands, Journal of Men's Studies The book might become a convenient handbook for researchers, teachers and students - dealing with social problems, gender, work, new family types etc. - Niels Rosendal Jensen, Denmark, European Journal of Social Work
