Perspectives
The Two Sexes
How does being male or female shape us? And what, aside from obvious anatomical differences, does being male and female mean? In this book, the author explores how individuals express their sexual identity at successive periods in their lives.
Adolescents after Divorce
When their parents divorce, some children falter and others thrive. This book asks why. Is it the custody arrangements? A parent's new partner? Conflicts or consistency between the two households? Adolescents After Divorce follows children from 1100 divorcing families to discover what makes the difference. Focusing on a period beginning four years after the divorce, the authors have the help of their subjects in exploring the altered conditions of their lives.
An Ethic of Care
Published in 1982, Carol Gilligan's In a Different Voice proposed a new model of moral reasoning based on care, arguing that it better described the moral life of women. An Ethic of Care is the first volume to bring together key contributions to the extensive debate engaging Gilligan's work. It provides the highlights of the often impassioned discussion of the ethic of care, drawing on the literature of the wide range of disciplines that have entered into the debate.
