Comprehensive and Articulate,
By A Customer
This review is from: Aging: Concepts and Controversies (Paperback)
It is a great resource for anyone studying the aging process or is in the business of caring for the elderly. It confronts major issues that we are dealing with, and attempts to answer tough questions from both a personal, academic, professional and policy perspective.
