Later-Life Social Support and Service Provision in Diverse and Vulnerable Populations
«
"This book creates a fine tension worthy of scholars who are both meticulous in their documentation and willing to push the boundaries of mainstream comfortability. Wilmoth and Silverstein’s review of the conceptualization and empirical advances in social support of older adults is an excellent primer for those new to the field and those of us who think we know more than we do. And it is reassuring that in these dark days of further retrenchment of the welfare state there are voices for those who are marginalized and vulnerable."
