IN PRAISE OF
"The extensive data documented in this book emerged from years of research
and the professional practice of the authors. Much awaited, The Ties
of Later Life forms part of the Perspectives on Aging and Human
Development Series edited by Jon Hendricks. The particular strength
of this edited collection is its usefulness for practitioners and academics
alike. This book provides a comprehensive yet compact insight into the
interpersonal relations of family life, focusing on the roles of older
adults. With an impressive list of contributors specializing in the areas
of aging and family dynamics, this book is divided into sixteen chapters,
each of which report the details of investigations researching familial
bonds in later life. ...This book should be of particular interest to postgraduate
students, academics, and practitioners working with families."
— Chantal Ski, Deakin University, Victoria, Journal of Family Studies, Vol. 5, No. 2, October 1999
