We're living through a relationship revolution. Millions around the world are moving beyond coupledom to explore multiple romantic and/or sexual connections with the full knowledge and consent of all those involved. But to make these relationships work people have to supercharge their relationships skills - such as transparent, compassionate communication and thoughtful, caring negotiation that can benefit everyone whether they love many or just one.

In this ground-breaking book, former BBC and Reuters journalist Jonathan Kent, draws on interviews with scores of people from six continents, all writing their own relationship rules, as well as on the expertise of biologists, sociologists, psychologists and philosophers to learn what makes relationships work. He reports in their own words how people all over the world conduct their relationships and find happiness in non-traditional styles of relating. This meticulously researched book is the first nonfiction work to cover ethical non-monogamy and polyamory as it is practiced worldwide, extending beyond North America and Europe to cover polyamorous people and relationships throughout Southeast Asia and elsewhere in the world.

What he discovered is a wide-ranging set of tools and practices that can benefit everyone, even people in traditional monogamous relationships. A World Beyond Monogamy offers a wealth of ideas and inspiration for improving your intimate relationships, however they may look.

Routledge International Handbook of Shared Parenting and Best Interest of the Child
<p>This multidisciplinary volume offers an essential, comprehensive study of perspectives on the scope and application of the best interests of the child and focuses mainly on its application in relation to child custody.</p><p>With expert contributions from psychological, sociological and legal perspectives, it offers scientific analysis and debate on whether it should be the primary consideration in deciding child custody cases in cases of divorce or separation or whether it should be one of several primary considerations. It explores complex dilemmas inherent in shared parenting and whether the advantages it offers children are sufficient when compared to attributing custody to one parent and limiting visitation rights of the other. Offering a comprehensive analysis of this complex topic, chapters provide detailed insight into the current state of research in this area, as well as expert guidelines aimed at resolving the controversies when parents agree or disagree over their children's living arrangements. Cutting-edge topics explored include: transnational shared parenting&#x3b; alternative dispute resolution&#x3b; breastfeeding parents&#x3b; religious disputes between parents and the psychological, social and economic factors that affect shared parenting.</p><p>The Routledge International Handbook of Shared Parenting and Best Interest of the Child will be essential reading for scholars and graduate students in law, psychology, sociology and economics interested in shared parenting and family law.</p>
