by Donald N.S. Unger, Temple University Press, May 2010


"Fatherhood is evolving. In Men CAN, Donald Unger tells the story

of that evolution in ways that are warm, personal, and compelling.

the picture that emerges is a hopeful one, but it will also be helpful

and comforting to men and women struggling with new roles at home."

"Unger's on target in Men CAN. He takes on uncomfortable questions
that spin off from a major social transformation. He deftly describes an
emerging ethic that benefits children, mothers, and fathers. This is a wise
book, with a wry sense of humor that profiles men who are literally changing
what fathering means. Men CAN should be read by those who care about
the modern family."
