Publisher's Synopsis
Exploring How Society Impacts Our Personal Connections in the Modern World
REVEL(TM) for Marriages, Families, and Intimate Relationships explores the question: can we still find intimate relationships in our complex world? Through an examination of the influences imposed upon modern life -- an unpredictable economy, globalization, computerization, the all-pervasive media, etc. -- the authors attempt to pass along lessons that help students make lasting personal connections. REVEL for the Fourth Edition discusses fundamental concepts and insights across social science disciplines to answer the questions that greatly matter to students. Students are engaged by high-interest, extremely useful information that blends the authors' combined strengths: teaching, consulting, counseling, researching, and publishing. REVEL for Marriages, Families, and Intimate Relationships is based in research yet remains highly readable, exploring topics of great interest to students' personal lives such as intimacy, family, and personal happiness in the context of their distracted, visually oriented world.
