Description
Experts worldwide, including a Nobel Prize Laureate and a former Prime Minister, explain and defend their views on the benefits and vital aspects of natural family (married mother and father with biological children), as well as the social, legal, political, psychological and biological challenges facing this traditional group globally.

Reviews:
-Loveless and Holman present a three-volume set derived from a November 2004 international conference on the family held in Doha, Qatar. Sixty-seven contributions are divided among three volumes addressing the place of family in human society, marriage and human dignity, and strengthening the family. Contributors from 19 countries and an array of professional backgrounds explore and explain events worldwide that affect and threaten the natural family structure of married father and mother with biological children. The authors examine a number of controversial issuesdivorce, abortion, euthanasia, same-sex marriagewith many taking stands that may be seen as politically incorrect. The collection is intended to provide a new opportunity for global society to discuss the role of the family and to participate in promoting the family as the fundamental pillar of society and repository of values and high ideals. —Reference & Research Book News
-This three-volume book includes a selection of papers presented at the various meetings and conferences of the 2004 Doha International Conference for the Family. All articles emphasize the importance and rightfulness of the natural family as the fundamental unit of society. There are no surprises when it comes to conclusions. The book includes an assortment of academic and nonacademic approaches. The academic articles come from the disciplines of law, sociology, psychology, anthropology, medicine, nursing, social work, political science, philosophy, economics, and counseling....[a]ll of the papers are well written, informative, and well researched (if academic). Gary Becker's theoretical article is outstanding; the international contributions are excellent. A good resource for students, but its political nature warrants some caution. Recommended. All academic levels/libraries, professionals/practitioners. —Choice
