"Starts like a textbook and ends like a thriller. Lynn Jamieson
sets out clearly the modern theories of personal life. Then she
digs out the facts - on friendships, child rearing, families,
sexuality - and confronts them. The results are sometimes
surprising, and always convincing." R. W. Connell, University of
Sydney
"Draw[s] on, and contribute[s] to, sociology's newly enlarged
sensitivity to the forms of private life and personal experience
... Jamieson's book is strikingly evidence-based." The Times
Higher Education Supplement
"Researchers and teachers in the area of personal relationships
will encounter valuable new ideas and sources in this book ... good
summaries of valuable qualitative studies by scholars from Great
Britain, Australia and New Zealand." Contemporary
Sociology
"Finding a monograph that is important reading for scholars, graduate students, and upper division undergraduates is unusual. Jamieson's book is important for all three audiences" Alan C. Acock, Oregon State University, Journal of Marriage and the Family.
