Description and Table of Contents
Description
The phenomenon of altruism - its causes, its effects and its manifestations - is discussed in this volume. The contributors explore such issues as: the socialization of altruism; volunteering; the effect of helping on the helper; and the effect of help-seeking behaviour on dependence and independence. With anthropological, biological and sociological approaches, this multi-perspective volume is an intriguing resource.
