This book is about caring for elderly persons in the 21th century. It shows that care has many facets and is influenced by many factors. Central topics of this book thus include the relation between the person depending on care and the care giver(s), the impacts of caregiving on the family and the larger social context, as well as socio-cultural and political aspects underlying the growing need for and the practice of formal and informal care.

H E I N R I C H B Ö L L (1917-85) was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1972. He was one of the most outspoken of literary figures, "The Conscience of Germany" if not the West, in speaking upon the hypocrisies of both denazification and the wonder of German economic recovery during the 1950s. A wounded soldier himself, BÖll was a champion of individual rights over the authority of the State. The year he won the Nobel Prize, there were also calls to revoke the award following BÖll's article in Der Spiegel in defense of the constitutional rights or a terrorist group. Essays in this volume include: Cause of Death: Hooked Nose In the Darkness My Uncle Fred The Postcard Murke's Collected Silence Action Will Be Taken Bonn Diary When the War Broke Out When the War Was Over The Staech Affair Till Death Do Us Part Rendezvous with Margaret In Defense of Washtubs The Freedom of Art Individual Human Dignity Nobel Prize Acceptance Undine's Mighty Father My Father's Cough In Defense of Rubble Lite This Type of Cheap Propaganda
The present volume deals with the experience of ambivalence in family relations - a well-known phenomenon that has inspired more and more research and theorizing in the last years but that is however sometimes difficult to capture. Bringing together junior and senior researchers from different parts of the world, ideas on theory and research are elaborated following qualitative and quantitative approaches. This book thus contributes to theory-building as well as outlining research results and helping to develop measurement in interpersonal and intergenerational relations.
