Reviews

From the original edition: ‘I am very excited by this collection … because it embraces the connections and oppositions inherent in crossing disciplinary boundaries… . This continues the increasingly valuable discussion of gender and multi-cultural aspects of housing in other recent volumes.’ – From the foreword by Professor David Saile, PhD. University of Cincinnati, USA
