Any agenda for family research in the 1990s must take seriously a
contextual approach to the study of family relationships. The
editors and contributors to this volume believe that the richness
in family studies over the next decade will come from considering
the diversity of family forms -- different ethnic groups and
cultures, different stages of family life, as well as different
historical cohorts. Their goal is to make more explicit how we
think about families in order to study them and understand them. To
illustrate the need for diversity in family studies, examples are
presented from new and old families, majority and minority
families, American and Japanese families, and intact and divorcing
families. This variety is intended to push the limits of current
thinking, not only for researchers but also for all who are
struggling to live with and work with families in a time when
family life is valued but fragmented and relatively unsupported by
society's institutions. Students and researchers interested in
family development from the viewpoint of any of the social sciences
will find this book of value.

This illustrated book gives an introduction of the religion of
Sikhism, the fifth largest religion in the world. This book also
includes a list of the Gurus of the religion and their date of
birth as well as a time line of service to the Sikh community. The
followers of Sikhism are ordained to follow the teachings of the
ten Sikh gurus, or enlightened leaders, as well as the holy
scripture entitled the Guru Granth Sahib, which, along with the
writings of six of the ten Sikh Gurus, includes selected works of
many devotees from diverse socio-economic and religious
backgrounds. The text was decreed by Guru Gobind Singh, the tenth
guru, as the final guru of the Khalsa Panth. Sikhism's traditions
and teachings are distinctively associated with the history,
society and culture of the Punjab. Adherents of Sikhism are known
as Sikhs (students or disciples) and number over 23 million across
the world. Most Sikhs live in Punjab in India and, until India's
partition, millions of Sikhs lived in what is now Pakistani Punjab.
