Editat de Louise Holten Limba Engleză Hardback – 15 dec 2010
Designed as an introduction to the topic, this book provides an overview of current conceptual and theoretical debates surrounding geographies of children, youth and families, and gives a wide range of examples of cutting-edge research from a variety of national contexts across the globe.
