Working Fathers: New Strategies for Balancing Work and Family
by James A. Levine and Todd L. Pittinsky (Addison-Wesley, $23)

• "This is such an important book on such a vital topic-must reading for all fathers." -Arlie Hochschild, author of The Time Bind

• "Few, if any, books can genuinely claim to offer equal benefits to companies, their members, and most importantly, their members' spouses and children. This one can." -Peter M. Senge, author of The Fifth Discipline

Working Fathers is the long overdue book that provides a thoughtful and practical resource for men in their roles as both workers and fathers." -Alvin Poussaint, M.D., Clinical Professor of Psychiatry, Harvard Medical School

• "This book's recognition of the significance of males other than the father to child development shows a unique sensitivity to this nation's changing and diverse family structure." -Evelyn K. Moore, Executive Director, National Black Child Development Institute

• "This book should be on the shelf of every early childhood program in the country." -Edward Zigler, Ph.D., Sterling Professor of Psychology, Yale University
