** Transforming the Dutch welfare state by Mara A Yerkes
This comprehensive study demonstrates the dramatic changes that have taken
place in the protection of old and new social risks, exploring the
mechanisms behind these changes in the context of corporatist welfare state
institutions.
"This is a valuable book which extends discussion of New Social Risks into
new areas." Peter Taylor-Gooby, FBA, University of Kent

** Housing transitions through the lifecourse by Andrew Beer
Lifetime attitudes to housing have changed, with new population dynamics
driving the market and a greater emphasis on consumption. This important
contribution to the literature argues that how we think about households
and their housing needs to be recast to acknowledge this changed
environment and provide a more powerful conceptual framework.
"A hugely impressive book. Housing transitions through the life course not
only offers a valuable comparison of lifetime attitudes towards housing
across different countries but also highlights how the global financial
crisis has impacted on such markets. Bang up-to-date and highly readable. A
much recommended read." Professor David Bailey, Coventry University
Business School, UK
