Down Our Way: The Relevance of Neighbourhoods for Parenting and Child Development Jacqueline Barnes (Institute for the Study of Children, London, UK)

The book will be of interest to anyone wanting to know more about how to improve the lives of parents and children. Special focus is placed on those families who face disadvantage, either in relation to personal vulnerabilities or in relation to living in neighbourhoods lacking in resources and facilities.
