The Turning ─ Why the State of the Family Matters, and What the World Can Do About It

In the spirit of Friedman’s The World is Flat, Richard and Linda Eyres examine not only the connections between America’s mounting social problems and the breakdown of families, but look deeply at the root causes of family disintegration—the false paradigms that confuse the priorities of parents and influence the kind of policies and practices in larger institutions (from media to government) that undermine families both economically and emotionally. For anyone who has a family or who is interested in family well being The Turning will open your eyes to what is happening and inspire you to make a difference in your family and others.
