"So for once the blurb on the jacket matches the content of the book, for it is indeed 'the first major study of leaving home tobe published in Britain.'

It will provide stimulating reading for a wide variety of people from policy-makers and practitioners to researchers and adds greatly to our understanding of the phenomenon of leaving home, including homelessness." - Urban Studies--This text refers to an alternatePaperbackedition.
