These questions are addressed from a variety of perspectives and a diverse assortment of contributors, including a former Governor who gave birth to twins while in office; a distinguished legal professor and leading authority on workplace discrimination against mothers and pregnant women; a researcher whose work on parental stress includes videotaped interactions between parents and children as parents return home from work; and a consultant to corporations developing workplace flexibility with a particular focus on low-wage workers. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003eComprised of original empirical articles written expressly for this work and “real world” examples and strategies for balancing the two, this book presents the most current research on the field of work and family.\u003c\/p\u003e  \"Amy Marcus-Newhall, Diane Halpern, and Sherylle Tan have compiled the first comprehensive, multidisciplinary volume on work and family. \u003ci\u003eThe Changing Realities of Work and Family\u003c\/i\u003e brings togetherthe best researchers in this field and some extraordinary practitioners to cover an impressive array of topics from several vantage points.
