‘This excellent book illustrates the value of bridging disciplinary boundaries when it comes to studying global families. Including chapters that describe the full gamut of diverse global family experiences, and covering both traditional (e.g., expatriate family adjustment) and emerging (e.g., migrant and transnational families) topics, it highlights rigorous academic research with very real implications for individuals, families, and organizations. The volume is a must read to everyone interested in global mobility.’
