Abstract
Why do people care about housing? A better question may be, what is a house? In brief, the answer depends on how the house is viewed. Introduction to Housing, edited by Katrin B. Anacker, Andrew T. Carswell, Sarah D. Kirby, and Kenneth R. Tremblay, provides insight about housing from the perspective of an individual, neighborhood, city, or society. The book provides a detailed discussion of housing market challenges in the U.S. and limited insight about international housing. The editors conclude that our understanding of housing will change in the future, as well.
