Reviews

Adler, Lenz, and their colleagues paint a detailed picture of fathers involvement in child rearing in six countries. This volume represents a valuable addition to the cross-national scholarship on work and family and helps us to gauge how masculinity is evolving in culture, policy, and practice. --Jerry Jacobs, University of Pennsylvania
