Summary |
"Intergenerational Relationships: Conversations on Practice and Research Across Cultures focuses on the impact of family and community relationships on pressing social problems. Respected international authorities reveal how cultures from Africa, Asia, and Europe value connections among people of different ages and how these relationships are used to address crucial social problems. Insightful research bridges multiple disciplines to provide a unique perspective demonstrating the benefits of intergenerational relationships."--Jacket. |
