Reviews
... there is much to like about the book as written. It is an intriguing read, theoretically ambitious, and seems likely to spur additional creative research that pushes and tests its claims. * Nicole P. Marwell, Crown Family School of Social Work, Policy, andPractice, University of Chicago, Chicago, IL, USA, Social Forces *
There simply is not another book quite like this, making Lara-Milla&n's work groundbreaking. * A.R.S. Lorenz, CHOICE Connect, Vol. 59 No. 8 *
