About this title

Synopsis

This fascinating volume reviews and predicts the effects of a significantly increased lifespan on society, including the difficulties involved in making such predictions. It provides speculations and insights by gerontology scholars from a range of medical and social sciences, including sociology, psychology, anthropology, and social work. The contributors, which include Robert Atchley, Ruth Dunkle, Lillian Troll, Dena Shenk, and Robert Hudson, examine the personal, professional, and societal consequences of increased longevity. This is a stimulating book for academics, researchers, and practitioners concerned with the study of aging, and for advanced students in these fields.
