Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

$7.95. psych What distinguishes this book from others on divorce is its focus on the need for businesslike cooperation between the divorcing parents for the sake of their child or children. Adler offers much practical advice on how to achieve such cooperation, even suggesting how to choose a lawyer sensitive to this issue and including a sample parental agreement. Summary outlines and appendixeswhich include a self-help checklist, a comparison of children's needs at different ages, and a sketch of the custody laws of the different statesare extremely helpful. Of special interest to collections emphasizing family issues but recommended for general collections as well. John Moryl, Yeshiva Univ. Lib., New York

Since completing the science journalism program at the University of California, Santa Cruz, he has worked as a freelance science and technology writer. He has written multiple science and technology news stories, interviews, and features for New Scientist, Nature, Astronomy, ScienceNow, the San Jose Mercury News, the Boston Globe and other print and online publications. He has also written two books published by John Wiley & Sons, Science Firsts: From the Creation of Science to the Science of Creation, and Medical Firsts: From Hippocrates to the Human Genome.
