While other retirement guides tend to concentrate on financial planning alone, Abraham Monk's work discusses all of the important issues and decisions that affect retirees in the 1990s. The handbook contains up-to-date information on the retirement process and offers help by providing lists of relevant books, helpful organizations and knowledgeable professionals, complete with addresses and telephone numbers. It contains information on: retirement and the American woman; social security and social insurance benefits; the job market after retirement; age discrimination; health care options for the elderly; housing options for the independent or dependent retiree; social networks and support groups; and legal issues.

Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
This collection of essays covers all aspects of retirement in American society. Written by academic and professional people from myriad fields related to retirement, these essays address practitioners and researchers "for whom retirement is part or parcel of their professional responsibilities." The essays begin by covering the history of retirement and end by discussing its future. In between are essays on every conceivable related topic, including financial and economic issues, retirement employment, legal and health issues, housing, family life, and leisure-time activities. Not only do these essays discuss how retirement affects the individual retiree but also how retirement affects society as a whole. The essays are well written and easy to understand for both the professional and lay reader. Because public libraries will find much useful information here, it is unfortunate that the cost may be prohibitive. Recommended for academic and large public libraries.
