This
best-selling text on social aging takes a multidisciplinary
approach by considering the many factors — biological,
psychological, historical, cultural — that affect the
way aging individuals experience the world.
Social
Gerontology: A Multidisciplinary Perspective provides
a comprehensive, holistic view of aging that considers the
implications for an older person's interactions with their
social and physical environments, including the immediate
environment of family, friends, and home, as well as the larger
social structure of community, organizations, and society.
Based on the latest research findings, Social Gerontology:
A Multidisciplinary Perspective offers greater depth and breadth
to the critical issues of aging, attending to differences
by age and cohort, gender, ethnic minority status, sexual
orientation and socio-economic status.
