Reviews / Votes
"In this newest edition of her book, Prof Goldsmith presents us with updated insights and tools crucial to the understanding and implementation of efficient and sustainable resource management within different types of contemporary households and families. The chapters are rich in data, theories, examples, case studies and critical thinking tasks, yet also refer to popular personalities and stories making this a student-friendly textbook which merits having a central place in tertiary level Family Resource Management classes."Suzanne Piscopo, Associate Professor of Home Economics, University of Malta, Malta.
