Abstract
Working Families: The Transformation of the American Home. Rosanna Hertz and Nancy L. Marshall, eds. Berkeley, CA: University of California Press. 2001. 389 pp. ISBN 0-520-- 22649-6. $19.95 (paper). Research on work and family has proliferated in recent years. These efforts have been helped along by financial support from the Alfred E. Sloan Foundation's program on Working Families, as well as support from other organizations, such as the Families and Work Institute and the Business and Professional Women's Foundation. Rosanna Hertz and Nancy L. Marshall's edited volume represents one tangible product resulting from these collaborations. Many of the papers in the book were presented at a 1998 national conference on work and family, cosponsored by the Sloan Foundation and the Business and Professional Women's Foundation. That this conference-which brings together scholars from many disciplines, human resource personnel, and other practitioners in the work and family field-has now become an annual event testifies to the value of this financial and institutional support for workfamily research. Working Families' 18 chapters are distributed across four major sections; the first focuses on changing families, the second on changes (or the lack of) in the workplace, and the third examines the gendered nature of both domains as experienced by working mothers and fathers themselves. The book's final section focuses on children, an important but all-too-often ignored constituency in work-family research. In contrast to the uneven quality of many edited volumes drawn from conference proceedings, all of the papers in this collection have something valuable to say. The vast majority discuss original research and do so in a style likely to have its greatest appeal to researchers, work-family professionals, and graduate students. Quantitative research dominates this volume. For the most part, this research is presented with enough technical and methodological details to make it useful to other researchers. Qualitative papers by Arlie Hochschild, Lillian Rubin, and Barrie Thorne (among others) round out the collection. Each section of Working Families contains at least one key paper; that is, it contains a paper that is not only strong empirically, but that also breaks new conceptual ground. For example, in their chapter in the Families section, Phyllis Moen and Shin Kap-Han urge a rethinking of traditional notions of occupational careers. They opt instead for life course perspective that attends to the multiplex pathways women and men pursue in the contemporary era. The proceeding chapter-Lillian Rubin's examination of people who begin families in mid-life-reinforces Moen and Han's suggestion that work-family researchers attend more closely to the reconfigured life course. Harriet Gross' chapter on Work, Family, and Globalization (in the section on work) also challenges work-family researchers. …

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
