SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
The modern family is inundated with information and no family can attend to it all; families must set priorities and remain oblivious to much. This book looks at what families are aware of, know, and talk about. It asks how areas of obliviousness are built up and maintained; and how a family overcomes obliviousness that creates difficulty.
