Reviews

"There is something for everyone in this book, and it leaves one with the feeling that it will prove to be a seminal work on grandparenthood, one that will guide future grandparenting research for the next several decades. The research reviewed and integrated is exhaustive; the bibliography alone is a worthy investment for the interested scholar. The level of writing is accessible to both veteran researchers and graduate students, and most chapters are equally accessible to the lay audience."-Contemporary Gerontology
"This book it would seem, now stands as the definitive reference text on grandparent research. Each chapter holds to a standard of exhaustive citation of past research and insightful conception of critical issues and needs for future research direction. The book reads well and would be appropriate for use in graduate study."-Journal of Marriage and the Family
"[M]akes a vital contribution. The book begins and ends with the editor's own incisive analysis of the genesis and evolution of grandparent research and the challenges that lie ahead in this largely neglected field....Szinovacz's stated purpose in preparing this volume is to "guide grandparent research into the mainstream of research on families and the elderly" and the book appears well suited to this task."-The Gerontologist
