About World of Books Ltd West Sussex, United Kingdom
In 2002, World of Books Group was founded on an ethos to do good, protect the planet and support charities by enabling more goods to be reused. Since then, we've grown into to a global company pioneering the circular economy. Today, we drive the circular economy through three re-commerce brands: - Wob: Through Wob, we sell. We provide affordable, preloved books and media to customers all over the world. A book leaves our collection of over seven million titles and begins a new chapter every two seconds, enabling more goods to be reused. - Ziffit: Through Ziffit, we buy. We give people around the world the opportunity to contribute to the circular economy, earn money and protect the planet, by trading their unwanted books and media. - Shopiago: Through Shopiago, we help others. By sharing the technology that has grown World of Books Group into the business it is today, we're helping charities increase revenue and reduce waste through re-commerce.

From the rear cover
- To show the historical context of various current preoccupations (for example, do families support each other more or less than in the past?);
- To survey the research already carried out in the field;
- To guide and help those who wish to undertake their own research.
The volume sets family and community history in a wider context, beyond the personal and the parochial, and develops an understanding of the social and historical patterns and interactions involved. With contributions from historians, anthropologists, sociologists and geographers, it encompasses a great variety of issues within nineteenth- and twentieth-century urban and rural experience, and includes applications of qualitative and quantitative techniques, case studies and up-to-date reviews of research. Wide-ranging and stimulating, this book will be of interest to students in social history, social anthropology and sociology, in addition to those who wish to undertake their own research in family and community history.
