Family Science

I have studied Family Science for several years and have many times become frustrated with the complexities involved in abstract ideas such as the theories and vocabulary used by family scientists. Wesley Burr's book is a wonderful text for both the advanced family researcher and those who simply want to better understand their own family, why they are the way they are, and what they can do to help overcome problems or unhealthy traditions that have been passed on for generations. Burr uses simplistic language to describe in detail complex ideas. He uses tons of examples and illustrations and gives the reader a feel of "oh, that reminds me of my family!" I felt it was an excellent book, and after having read it, I felt like I had come away with vast amounts of useful new knowledge.
