Reviews for Housing Transitions Through the Life Course
"A hugely impressive book. Housing transitions through the life course not only offers a valuable comparison of lifetime attitudes towards housing across different countries but also highlights how the global financial crisis has impacted on such markets. Bang up-to-date and highly readable. A much recommended read." Professor David Bailey, Coventry University Business School, UK
