provide a forum for extended and integrated treatments offundamental and
challenging contemporarytopics iuparenting. Each volume treats adifferent
perspective on parenting and is self-contained, yet the series as a whole
endeavors to enhance and interrelate studies in parenting bybringing shared
perspectives tobear on a variety of concerns prominent in parenting theory,

Monographs in Parenting will appeal-individuallyyorna aQroup-to sci-
entists, ynofeamiomulo, and parents alike. Reflecting the nature and intent of
this series, contributing authors are drawn from a broad spectrum of the
humanities and sciences-anthropology to zoology-with representational
