They offer interesting comparisons with international societies, especially with Southern Europe, where similar changes to the family and its role are occuring. This fascinating text is essential reading for those with an enthusiasm in Japanese studies but will also engage those with a concern in Japanese culture and society, as well as appealing to a readership with a wider interest in the sociology of the family.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Marcus Rebick\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415368081\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415368087\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/03\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 234\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.07lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.50h x 6.32w x 0.72d","brand":"Marcus Rebick","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48086595240191,"sku":"9780415368087","price":125.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_dffdfa43-bc73-4513-a568-a6143e769e1c.jpg?v=1769095590","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-changing-japanese-family-marcus-rebick-9780415368087","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
