This review is from: Opportunities in Gerontology and Aging Services Careers, Rev. Ed. (Paperback)
Whoever wrote the front and back promo covers for this book did not apparently read the book. The book is a very general overview of the fact that there are aging jobs-- in other words, no new information for anyone over the age of 14.
The "up to date salary statistics and earning potential" information advertised on the cover consists of the author saying that there is a broad range of earning potential.
The "essential advice from the experts" consists of a reference list at the end.
Very poor book-- the worst example I can remember of advertising far exceeding content.

Book review-Opportunities in Gerontology & Aging Services Careers, Rev.Ed., July 17, 2006
This review is from: Opportunities in Gerontology and Aging Services Careers, Rev. Ed. (Paperback)
As a very basic overview about Gerontology work force opportunties, this is a good start. May need more updating as this field is expanding tremendously.
