{"product_id":"9780814759424","title":"What Is Parenthood?","description":"\u003cp\u003eExtraordinary changes in patterns of family life-and family  law-have dramatically altered the boundaries of parenthood and opened up  numerous questions and debates. What is parenthood and why does it  matter? How should society define, regulate, and support it? Is  parenthood separable from marriage-or couplehood-when society seeks to  foster children's well-being? What is the better model of parenthood  from the perspective of child outcomes?    Intense disagreements over the definition and future of marriage often rest upon conflicting convictions about parenthood. What Is Parenthood?  asks bold and direct questions about parenthood in contemporary  society, and it brings together a stellar interdisciplinary group of  scholars with widely varying perspectives to investigate them. Editors  Linda C. McClain and Daniel Cere facilitate a dynamic conversation  between scholars from several disciplines about competing models of  parenthood and a sweeping array of topics, including single parenthood,  adoption, donor-created families, gay and lesbian parents, transnational  parenthood, parent-child attachment, and gender difference and  parenthood.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"NEW YORK UNIVERSITY PRESS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51185217569042,"sku":"9780814759424","price":56.22,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0508\/3093\/4173\/files\/9780814759424.jpg?v=1774734431","url":"https:\/\/bargainbooks.com.au\/products\/9780814759424","provider":"Bargain Books Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
