Description
Summary:Families Behind the Headlines brings together eight papers presented at one of the annual meetings organised by the British Association for the Advancement of Science. One of the aims of recent meetings has been to present ‘fundamentally important scientific material in an intelligible way to wider audiences than the specialist and narrowly academic’. The papers produced as a result of the 1995 meeting certainly take on board this principle. The result is a publication that manages to cover a wide range of issues connected with the family in a concise, readable but challenging way.
