Description

As the field of aging and gerontology grows worldwide, this exciting guide introduces students to key issues and concepts.

Taking a multiple-perspective approach (including humanities, social and behavioral sciences and policy studies), the book's features include further reading for each chapter, a glossary of key terms, and tables that provide easy reference points.
