Summary

• A full understanding of relationship processes must include consideration of theoretically inconvenient and/or socially disfavored instances as well as those whose value and importance, traditionally, have been acknowledged in research. "Moving off the beaten track," Under-Studied Relationships begins to rectify existing scholarship's tendency to ignore the diverse and emergent forms of relationships that are increasingly evident in modern society. Editors Julia T.
• Wood and Steve Duck have gathered together outstanding researchers in the field to discuss such largely overlooked issues as long-lasting marriages, cultural-minority relationships, lesbian/gay relationships, simultaneous hierarchical and friendships at work, nonmarital cohabitation, long-distance relationships, and personal relationships over computer networks.
