`stimulating collection of essays'
Judge David Pearl, Family Law May 2001
`Cross Currents is set deservedly to become one of the standard texts on family law on both sides of the Atlantic for the next generation of students and scholars.'
Judge David Pearl, Family Law May 2001
`This book is a substantial collection of essays considering the development and present state of family law in England and Wales and the United States. The table of contributors is a most impressive list, containing many of the leading academic family lawyers on each side of the
Atlantic. It is therefore not surprising that the book is excellent. ... the book is an extremely valuable resource that anyone interested in family law should acquire and will greatly enjoy.'
Law Quarterly Review, 1 Oct 2001
`this is an excellent reference work, of great value to anyone who wants an introduction to Family Law in either the United States or England.'
Modern Law Review, 1 March 2002
`... offers a timely appraisal of family law and family policy at the start of the new millennium. ... The full sweep of family law gets 'state of the art' treatment ... The book is an important collection of its individual chapters, each written by a recognised scholar in its respective area,
as well as a 'state of the art' statement of family law and policy at the start of the twenty-first century. ... the book will appeal to a wide constituency: its chapters are accessibly written for the non-specialist, yet contain original insights for the specialist. It deserves to become a
standard reference for students and teachers of family law, social policy, sociology, and social work, and is a worthy successor to the volume that inspired it.'
