Opis

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 in North America, 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. The book highlights papers presented at the Colloquium on Global Intergenerational Research, Programs and Policy (University of Pittsburgh, October 2003).
