Recenzje

This new book provides a brand new perspective to understand more thoroughly about the young people nowadays, their challenges and the constraints they have to cope with in a post industrialized modern state. Young people are not hidden; they may simply be ignored by many of the adults. – Mark Li, Senior Lecturer, Hong Kong Baptist University
