Another WONDERFUL title!

I have enjoyed every title by this author, and this one is no less. Buy a stack nad give them to your family! Start a reading / support group!

Niven is great

I am a sucker for research. I don't like to think about gurus sitting around in a cave somewhere dreaming things up. Niven's series of books offers substance to what he offers. Empirical studies aren't a sure thing, but they're a lot better than most of what's out there on the market. Families have never been an easy puzzle to figure out, but this book takes us up the mountain. I'd recommend this to anyone who is in a family and is open to new ideas. Great read.
