Michael Gurian, A Fine Young Man:What Parents, Mentors, and Educators Can Do to Shape Adolescent Boys into Exceptional Men. Order on-line Hard cover Paperback
There are many good books on boys coming out now. Raising Boys aims to be the simplest to read for busy parents, also aims to inspire, and be solution oriented. I tried to build in everything that seems to work with boys that mothers and fathers repeatedly told me as I lectured around the world.
Australians like their books with humour, down to earth, and with some soul. This book made publishing history here - the first parenting book to go straight to number one bestseller and it stayed there for months. Now in the U.S. and U.K I hope you like it and it helps bring up a new kind of man for the 21st century in large enough numbers to make a difference. - Steve Biddulph
Canada (Fist Stick Knife Gun, 1995) obviously knows what he is talking about when it comes to young men in the inner city. Raised in the South Bronx, he is now president of the Rheedlen Centers for Children and Families, an organization employing and guiding urban kids, and ``father'' to four boys he thinks of as sons beyond his own son and stepson. - From Kirkus Reviews , November 15, 1997
