Books by Kristin Luker

"It is difficult to imagine a juicier subject, or a more thoughtful, fluent, trustworthy guide for its exploration."-San Francisco Chronicle

This powerful book takes us behind the stereotypes, the inflamed rhetoric, and the flip media sound bites to show us the complex reality and troubling truths of teenage mothers in America today.

This book is both a handbook for defining and completing a research project and an astute introduction to the neglected history and changeable philosophy of modern social science.
