| Annotation | The editors of 'Home and identity in late life: an international perspective' (Springer, 2005) outline its contents, which examine the theme of experience of home environments and self identity from multidisciplinary and international perspectives. The book is in six parts, starting with the themes of coming home, "being at home", or "being in place". Part II considers the phenomenological "essence of home"; Part III, disruptions of home, focuses on antitheses of home, or the absence of home; Part IV considers the temporal aspects through the theme of creating and re-creating home. Part V focuses on community perspective on the meaning of home; and Part VI comprises three commentaries on leaving home. (RH). |
