About This Item
Signs of usage from previous owner including DJ with slight rubbing, smudging and wear. Pages clean and crisp. Used book has little to no markings or writing from previous owner. DJ has slight bumping, rubbing on the top, spine, edges, corners. Black remainder mark on tail of outer edges. Outer edges have some tanning, browning, stains and foxing. The challenge is great. Despite all the talk about "family values", the family is besieged. The percentage of children living below the poverty line rose 49 percent from 1973 to 1992; American children are less likely to be immunized than those of any other developed nation; and many corporations still lag behind in areas such as maternity leave, while rewarding workers for long hours away from home. Moreover, the skyrocketing divorce rate and boom in the out-of-wedlock birth rate has relegated the "traditional family" to the realm of myth. 1996. A22.
