The Cambridge Handbook of the Global Work-Family Interface is a response to growing interest in understanding how people manage their work and family lives across the globe. Given global and regional differences in cultural values, economies, and policies and practices, research on work-family management is not always easily transportable to different contexts. Researchers have begun to acknowledge this, conducting research in various national settings, but the literature lacks a comprehensive source that aims to synthesize the state of knowledge, theoretical progression, and identification of the most compelling future research ideas within field. The Cambridge Handbook of the Global Work-Family Interface aims to fill this gap by providing a single source where readers can find not only information about the general state of global work-family research, but also comprehensive reviews of region-specific research. It will be of value to researchers, graduate students, and practitioners of applied and organizational psychology, management, and family studies.

"The one source that sets reference collections on Latin American studies apart from all other geographic areas of the world.... The Handbook has provided scholars interested in Latin America with a bibliographical source of a quality unavailable to scholars in most other branches of area studies." —Latin American Research Review Beginning with volume 41 (1979), the University of Texas Press became the publisher of the Handbook of Latin American Studies, the most comprehensive annual bibliography in the field. Compiled by the Hispanic Division of the Library of Congress and annotated by a corps of more than 140 specialists in various disciplines, the Handbook alternates from year to year between social sciences and humanities. The Handbook annotates works on Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean and the Guianas, Spanish South America, and Brazil, as well as materials covering Latin America as a whole. Most of the subsections are preceded by introductory essays that serve as biannual evaluations of the literature and research under way in specialized areas. The Handbook of Latin American Studies is the oldest continuing reference work in the field. Lawrence Boudon, of the Library of Congress Hispanic Division, has been the editor since 2000, and Katherine D. McCann has been assistant editor since 1999. The subject categories for Volume 61 are as follows: AnthropologyEconomicsGeographyGovernment and PoliticsPolitical EconomyInternational RelationsSociology

Esta obra es una contribucion al debate sobre la conciliacion trabajo-familia realizada desde una perspectiva filosofica. Que es la persona?, que es la familia?, que es el trabajo?, que tipo de relaciones se dan entre estas realidades? Contestando estas preguntas el libro va a la raiz del problema y propone una serie de argumentos que aportan respuestas conformes a la naturaleza humana. Para ello se recurre como marco conceptual al pensamiento de Karol Wojty a-Juan Pablo II. El hallazgo mas original es la existencia de una relacion de complementariedad y reciproca dependencia entre trabajo y familia que supera la logica del conflicto todavia prevalente. Es un libro de interes cientifico por ser una aproximacion antropologica al tema de la conciliacion y por el profundo analisis de los conceptos de persona, familia y trabajo en el pensamiento y el Magisterio de Karol Wojty a. La obra es de interes tambien para cualquier lector que tenga inquietud por un tema tan actual y relevante como es la conciliacion. En efecto es una problematica que atane a dos dimensiones esenciales de la vida humana familia y profesion y no lograr su armonizacion conlleva preocupantes consecuencias."
