From the Back Cover:
"

As our aging population grows ever larger, it is increasingly important to understand how adults age and what we can do to provide up-to-date care to ensure their well-being as an integral part of society. Leslie Morgan and Suzanne Kunkel understand that this phenomenon is about much more than just the physical or biological aspects of growing older and have put together a comprehensive text on the impact of society and sociology on the aging process.

Use this text to explore the diversity of the aging population and dispel the major stereotypes surrounding the elderly. Learn about aging through all the layers of social context from family life to politics and economics. And through this approach, come to see how aging is more than just an individual process, it is a process that effects the direction of our society as a whole.

For the Student:

  • Web sites of interest and key terms defined at the end of each chapter
  • Real life stories and essays on love, sex, music, medicine, and crime

For the Professor:

  • Assignment-ready reading in a ""One Chapter a Week"" format
  • Questions for discussion and review at each chapter end
  • ""Applying Theory"" sections place the lesson of each chapter in a clear, real-world setting

Book Description Buch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - The work provides an introduction to both social gerontology and sociology of aging studies. It offers a coherent narrative that is organized around broad sociological themes. What integrates this text overall is the discussion of how we socially construct aging, how different societies at different times construct aging, and what those changes say about our society. It contains lively, specualtive essays covering non-traditional topics and demonstrates the social process of aging from a completely different perspective. Seller Inventory # 9780761987314
