Industry Reviews
"This volume is an excellent selection of contributions focused on the almost totally unrecognised role of the grandfather that has long been in the shadow of grandmothers. The different research contained within this volume highlights the important impact of grandfathers on grandchildren ... . it is a relevant and essential contribution not only to social scientists but to anyone who wishes to understand the important roles of the grandfathers and their impact on the new generations." (Marta Ortega Gaspar, Journal of Population Ageing, Vol. 10, 2017)
