Biography

Parke, Ross D.; Kellam, Sheppard G.

"...the articles are interesting, are thought provoking, and reveal serious gaps in our knowledge."
—Science Books and Films

"...the most appealing feature of this book is the rich conceptual fabric woven around the empirical findings presented. In almost every chapter, readers are thoroughly introduced to the substantive challenges facing scholars in a particular area and presented with at least one example of a research effort attempting to confront the challenges. As a result, a window is opened onto the process of conceptualizing research problems and designing methods to address them. Both seasoned and novice researchers are likely to benefit from these insights."
—Journal of Marriage and the Family

"...Kellam's review of his elegant and conceptually satisfying research on the overlap between family and school is especially informative in terms of actual findings."
