This best-selling book 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. The book provides a comprehensive, holistic view of aging that considers 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, the book 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. For sociologists, social workers, psychologists, health professionals, and students planning to work with the elderly.
