Reviews
<p> ?A clear and simple theoretical framework is the book's strength. Applying human ecological theory (which addresses human development and the interaction of individuals with their social environments) Feinstein et al. have thought carefully about many factors that could link parents? education to children's outcomes and the various pathways through which these factors may have their effects... sociologists interested in educational attainment and/or intergenerational mobility (especially class reproduction) would likely profit from this short book. The book is also intended for members of the public policy community, who will welcome the authors? sensitivity to their concerns. --Mark McKerrow, Canadian Journal of Sociology (2009), 34(2).
