"In his latest book the author of the classic multivolume 'Social and Religious History of the Jews' steps back from his usual close, archival work to survey the entire field of historical scholarship from a perspective possible only from someone with his long and vast experience. Salo Baron covers history from antiquity to today, from the Mediterranean region to the Western world, critically assessing the various approaches to the study of history that have come into (and fallen from) fashion during his own years of writing history. Included are psycho-history, quantitative history, the socio-religious approach, and social-cultural analysis. While many of Baron's examples are taken from his field of expertise, Jewish history, they often have universal connotations since the Jewish past spans three milennia and tremendous geographical distance."

The Contemporary Relevance of History

As the American workforce has changed in recent years to accommodate an increasing number of working parents, the workplace itself must also adapt. Sheila Kamerman and Alfred Kahn, two of the most respected authorities on work and the American family, explore in this study the ways in which the workplace has responded to social change. They examine innovations in the workplace as well as enduring concerns--fringe benefits, day care and other services, and employers' policies at the workplace. And, they assess employers' adequacy in assisting parents of young children to manage simultaneously their work and family roles. In doing so, Kamerman and Kahn separate over-optimistic "wish lists" from reality, and mere claims of certain effects from observed results. They also look at some critical benefits and services in detail, delineating which are useful and practical. The authors consider whether a workplace-based pattern of provision will meet everyone's needs and, if not, what alternatives are possible. While endorsing a serious role for employers, they stress that government must also take a role in respect to families of working parents.
