Perspectives on Social Gerontology (Paperback)

This collection of source readings in the field of ageing includes articles on physical and psychological aspects, as well as social perspectives. The selected articles cover important topics and are intended for undergraduate and graduate readers, focusing on fundamental issues of the field rather than narrow research questions. This volume could be used as a supplement to any standard text on social gerontology, or used as the main text in courses that have a comprehensive set of lectures.
