Child labor and household time allocation in United States family farm households Book

I don't know what I was expecting, but this isn't it. The author is an unabashed list-maker and is out to convert the world. However, her lists aren't formatted as checklists that you could just copy and check off. Many items on her lists are a paragraph long. I only made it about half way through the book, but so far the lists include the groceries you should have on hand (all wrong for our household), the tools you should own, how to prepare for winter, what to keep in your medicine cabinet, etc. Some stuff seemed dated (published in 1999), and others just didn't seem to apply. I think I was looking more for the kind of list found in the back of Side-tracked Home Executives. It's not that the information found here is useless, but much is common sense and the rest would probably be best covered in a book on a specific topic (personal safety, remodeling your home, etc.)
