Reviews

`The home is an institution at the base of society which impacts individuals' outcomes and decisions across the life course, from child developmental outcomes to work and retirement decisions. This book is a collection of contributions explaining the role that the home plays in modern society. Its multidisciplinary perspective will enable readers to enlarge their views on the concept of home wearing the hat of a geographer, economist, philosopher, sociologist and medical scientist.' -- Cheti Nicoletti, University of York, UK
