The extension of the group in which friendship is recognized, and degrees of intimacy (whether or not involving an erotic dimension) and genuine appreciation may vary widely. Friendship may simply include kinship bonds—solidarity being one of its more general characteristics. In various contexts of travelling, migration, and a dearth of offspring, friendship may take over roles of kinship, also in terms of care.Value inquiry book series ;Volume 297.FriendshipCase studiesFriendship302.34Risseeuw Carla Van Raalte Marlein MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910796042703321Conceptualizing friendship in time and place3807921UNINA
