What Every Man Should Know About Being a Dad

What Every Man Should Know About Being a DadThis book provides a guide for men on how to be a good dad.

When a man becomes a father, it can be a very daunting time. He can feel unprepared and apprehensive. Let's face it, no one teaches men how to be fathers.

Dealing directly with the key issues and the many stresses that fathers can face, written in a readable, anecdotal style, and drawing on eclectic material, this book looks at the psychological research on child development, parenting, and fathering in particular.

Work, Family, and Community

Work, Family, and CommunityResearch in recent decades has proven that the seemingly disparate worlds of family life and the workplace are in fact closely intertwined.

Moreover, scholars have begun to recognize the extent to which community life influences the work-family interface, for instance, the lack of fit between school hours and work hours, and assistance provided by community-based child care services.

Work, Family, and Community is the first to provide a comprehensive review and analysis of the theoretical and empirical research that has examined the complex interconnections among these domains.

New Family Studies Arena

New Family Studies ArenaWelcome to our new Family Studies arena - we hope you the find new features and improvements exciting and useful.

We hope you find this arena very easy to navigate around, because we know that you want to find the information you're after quickly, whether it's the 'buy now' link for a particular book, the date & venue of a forthcoming conference, or the online version of a specific academic journal article.

We've added a number of new features to address your changing demands and requirements.

We hope we've made this arena invaluable for you, and we'd encourage you to add this site to your favourites, post it to del.icio.us (if you're a del.icio.us user), blog about it (then let us know), or recommend it to your friends and colleagues.

Here's a very brief overview of some of the new features:

RSS Feeds of latest titles

RSS iconWe've created an RSS Feed of our newest Family Studies books so that you can subscribe to receive news of our latest titles. RSS feeds are an increasingly popular way to check for news and updates from all the websites you regularly visit without having to visit them all individually.

We've created a page to explain more about RSS, which will also help you to subscribe using a wide range of freely available RSS Feed Readers.

You can also use our RSS feed to display an automatically-updated list of our latest Family Studies titles on your blog or website (let us know if you do this because we'd be interested to see).

screenshot of New Conference Page with interactive mapConferences

We've launched our Family Studies listings with an interactive map (see screenshot, right), allowing you to see, at a glance, all of the events that are coming up near you.

You can zoom in for a closer look (close enough, in some cases, to get street directions!) and click on the map markers for conference details and a link to the conference's home page.

Family Studies Blog Posts, Country-specific book listings, and more

There's a wealth of other new features, including the latest Blog Posts from around the world which have been tagged as being about Family Studies, and we've also made sure that all the books you see are available in your country by automatically identifying which country you're in (on the rare occasions when we might get it wrong you can manually override it on the User Preferences page).

We're very excited about the changes we've made to this arena, and as we mentioned earlier, we'll be updating all of our arenas over the coming months. But we don't want to rest on our laurels, so we'll be looking for new ways to improve the arenas and new features to offer you.

If you have any suggestions or comments then please don't hesitate to let us know.
