Same-Sex Marriage and Children is the first book to bring together historical, social science, and legal considerations to comprehensively respond to the objections to same-sex marriage that are based on the need to promote so-called "responsible procreation" and child welfare. Carlos A. Ball places the current marriage debates within a broader historical context by exploring how the procreative and child welfare claims used to try to deny same-sex couples the opportunity to marry are similar to earlier arguments used to defend interracial marriage bans, laws prohibiting disabled individuals from marrying, and the differential treatment of children born out of wedlock. Ball also draws a link between welfare reform and same-sex marriage bans by explaining how conservative proponents have defended both based on the need for the government to promote responsible procreation among heterosexuals. In addition, Ball examines the social science studies relied on by opponents of same-sex marriage and explains in a highly engaging and accessible way why they do not support the contention that biological status and parental gender matter when it comes to parenting. He also explores the relevance of the social science studies on the children of lesbians and gay men to the question of whether same-sex couples have a constitutional right to marry. In doing so, the book looks closely at the gay marriage cases that reached the Supreme Court and explains why the constitutionality of same-sex marriage bans could not be defended on the basis that maintaining marriage as an exclusively heterosexual institution promoted the best interests of children. Same-Sex Marriage and Children will help lawyers, law professors, judges, legislators, social and political scientists, historians, and child welfare officials-as well as general readers interested in matters related to marriage and families-understand the empirical and legal issues behind the intersection of same-sex marriage and children's welfare.

Long before this institutional setting, however, a more subversive and certainly more spicy variety of international relations understanding and critique was at work: this was, of course, the sharp eye' on foreign policy and international relations, drawn in jest and sometimes in anger by cartoonists.Author Robert Feldman's emphasis on practical, take-home information provides students with knowledge they can use during the course and beyond.Subsequent chapters take up the various issues, exploring problems and proposing solutions.Yet, despite the importance of this discussion--a safety valve and a control mechanism for today's international and domestic international dispute resolution-- no major study has ventured to review and analyze it.In Leonard she sees herself reflected plain; out on the street she makes sense of what she sees.Written as a narrative collage that includes meditative pieces on the making of a modern feminist, the role of the flaneur in urban literature, and the evolution of friendship over the past two centuries, "The Odd Woman and the City "beautifully bookends Gornick's acclaimed "Fierce Attachments," in which we first encountered her rich relationship with the ultimate metropolis.A contentious, deeply moving ode to friendship, love, and urban life in the spirit of "Fierce Attachments"A memoir of self-discovery and the dilemma of connection in our time, "The Odd Woman and the City" explores the rhythms, chance encounters, and ever-changing friendships of urban life that forge the sensibility of a fiercely independent woman who has lived out her conflicts, not her fantasies, in a city (New York) that has done the same.The book is written by over forty leading practitioners and scholars from both inside and outside the Court.Gozdziak looks too at how the children s perspectives compare to the ideas of child welfare programs, noting that the children focus on survival techniques while the institutions focus, not helpfully, on vulnerability and pathology.A guiding theme throughout the book is the focus on a triple agenda of supporting employee WLB, workplace effectiveness and social justice in an austerity context.How can parents safely use computers and the Internet as early learning tools?Parents are shown how to make the words they serve up more enriching.Prior attempts to account for the change in custody failed because they underestimated the role played by the state in each instance, and ignored the class character of divorce of the period.This book provides an extensive and detailed examination of business and human rights, and evaluating the extent to which the various initiatives in the field bridge the corporate accountability gap.It will demonstrate how and why international mediation works and why it is such a powerful tool to resolving business conflict.
