The 24-Hour Family by Polly Ghazi (9.99, The Women's Press) is billed as 'A Parent's Guide to Work-Life Balance', and would be a very good reference source to have on your entrance hall table as well as in the staff room. The book deals with everything from the details of working families' tax credit to the issues involved in achieving a work-life balance in rural families, low-income and lone parents, black and Asian parents and parents with disabilities or disabled children. The book also takes an in-depth look at what children want within their families and from the childcare they receive, and gives some interesting case studies. * Telephone 020 7251 3007
