About this Item

196 Pages Indexed. Owner's name label on front endpaper. No other apparent marks, stamps, underlining to this tight bright book. Recent research has examined the aging process and has pointed to conditions under which the process is variable not inevitably determined. This two-part collection reviews existing knowledge, the field, identifies interrelated social, biological, and psychological events affecting the aging process, and seeks convergence among disciplines. The first part of the book is concerned both with specific events and with the variety of support systems and social convoys that affect physical and mental functioning, patterns of attitudes, and role sequences in the unfolding of individual lives. In part two, contributors consider the impact of social and environmental changes as they may shape the life course patterns of entire cohorts of individuals born at the same.
