`This book presents a wealth of information on family ties and aging, and would be a good text for undergraduates -Victor G Cicirelli, Purdue Univeresity `Overall, the book is really very good. All the chapters are excellent....impressive in its breadth and depth. There is nothing like it on the market, and I predict that it will be widely adopted - Sarah Matthews, Cleveland State University `I am very excited about this book! I believe it will fill a crucial niche in the field of gerontology. There have been a few slim textbooks on family and aging issues in the past, but none as comprehensive as this one...There are many attractive features...excellent coverage of diversity in family experiences according to racial, ethnic, and sexual orientation group membership....indication of diversity of family and aging experiences according to socioeconomic class....many useful examples of critical thinking...section introductions and summaries that serve as useful learning tools.... I like the fact that U.S. and Canadian data are intertwined. I think it will give students a broader perspective of the world than they typically get from textbooks - Rosemary Blieszner, Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University `The book is written in a style that is easy to read and presents details carefully but without tedium. It would be appropriate for an advanced undergraduate course or a graduate course....I enjoyed reading this book. This is a topic I am interested in, and I think the author did a nice job of communicating both the old and the new, the traditional and the nontraditional issues of importance in the study of the family -Toni Antonucci, University of Michigan This book examines the vast range of information about the many facets of family relationships and aging and compiles it into a critical, comprehensive, and integrated whole, providing an integrated and thorough representation of the field.
