"...the extensive coverage and appropriate application of almost
all available research studies of intergenerational communication
make this an extremely useful reference work for all students and
scholars of human communication."
—CHOICE"No current volume offers such theoretical or research
breadth or depth with regard to intergenerational
communication....Although the book is of interest to those in
sociolinguistics and communication science concerned with
intergenerational issues, this is also essential reading for all
scholars concerned with aging, and those charged with elder
care."
—Journal of Sociolinguistics"The book is well written and is well
suited for graduate and advanced undergraduate courses on topics of
communication and aging, life-span communication, and
intergenerational communication. I would also contend that this
book-due to its comprehensive scope-would also make a superlative
supplement for communication, and communication theory. It is
clearly multidimensional in its (theoretical; research;
pedagogical) utility and scope."
—Southern Communication Journal
