Families Without Fathers: Fathers, Marriage and Children in American Society
In this volume, David Popenoe argues against the claim that "new" families, which often lack a strong father, are actually healthier than traditional two-parent families-or, at the very least, do children no harm. Examining evidence from social and behavioral science, history, and evolutionary biology, Popenoe shows why fathers today are deserting their families in record numbers. He suggests concrete policies, offers new ways of thinking and acting, and tells us what we as individuals and as a society can do to support and strengthen fatherhood and families
