MI CHISTE FAVORITO "Los asteriscos están de fiesta y bailan muy animados. De pronto suena el timbre, uno de los asteriscos va a espiar por la mirilla y regresa. Todos se reúnen, inquietos, hasta que finalmente deciden abrir la puerta. Entra un punto, que ante la mirada sorprendida de los demás, dice:-¿Qué les pasa? ¿O acaso está prohibido usar gomina?"

fundamental way be determined, forced or cajoled" (p. 151). Though Glass only briefly touches on the implications of approaches that refuse to "privatize risk" and privilege a concern for culture, his provocative essay is certain to spark discussion if used in graduate level seminars. The fourth and final part focuses on the impacts of social programs and policies on child health, with all authors presenting nuanced ideas and evidence to argue that supportive family national policies are needed for population-level improvements in infant and child health. Lisa Berkman and Emily O'Donnell's lead chapter is the stand-out in this section. It explores the effects on child health of non-health care-related social and economic policies that have been implemented in the last 40-50 years, including paid and unpaid vacation or leave, workplace flexibility, retirement policies, and economic incentives (such as the Earned Income Tax Credit). They argue that the identification of social and economic policies that promote family health and well-being-such as through spillover effects from direct beneficiaries to other family members-is critical to better inform policy makers who "cling to what they understand about the narrow benefits of specific medical care policies" (p. 175). Critical to this volume is a concluding chapter by Claudia Nau and Jessica Heckert that integrates the myriad disciplines and potential research directions proposed throughout the book. This cogent piece stands on its own and would have been well-placed as an introductory chapter. The authors begin with an overview of why a book of this scope is needed: to address how best to eliminate the avoidable inequalities in health between population groups that begin early in life, with the family serving as a primary context in which children develop. They conclude with a call to combine disciplinary strengths in order to "formulate common goals and develop theoretical premises that guide sampling, measurement, intervention, and policy and allow.. . researchers and advocates to determine above all what questions need to be answered next and how program and policy recommendations can be made" (p. 224). This book is rich because its editors and authors delve into complex and, at times, contentious issues with precision and a shared purpose-to share what they know, to reveal what they do not yet know, and to identify how best to protect and promote the health of all children. Would that our current national political dialogue was as respectful, knowledgeable, and ultimately, productive.
