About this title

Synopsis

The 65+ segment of American society has grown significantly. The problems and solutions that face this aging population are analyzed in the following chapters: How Does Society View Aging and the Elderly? How Will an Aging Population Affect America? Should Social Security Be Reformed? Are Improvements Needed in Elderly Health Care?

Reviews

Gr 10 Up-As is always the case with this series, varying viewpoints are included; however, in this volume, a diversity of sources is also given weight. In addition to books and journals, material is drawn from policy and foundation reports, congressional testimony, and Web sites. Under the chapter heading of "How Does Society View Aging and the Elderly?" forceful discussions address how seniors are treated in society, specifically in the workforce. "How Will an Aging Population Affect America?" contains opposing essays on the aged as an economic drain, the power of the elderly as a consumer force, and a particularly eloquent piece by Virginia Stem Owens on aging parents being cared for by their children. Librarians would want to purchase this title for the cogent presentations in "Should Social Security Be Reformed?" alone. "Are Improvements Needed in Elderly Health Care?" focuses on the current controversies regarding Medicare, prescription-drug coverage, and the quality of nursing-home care. Each of the entries is packed with information and statistics that would be useful for research projects. Although a high school audience would understand most of the articles, a few are technical and detailed. This book updates Karin Swisher's The Elderly (Greenhaven, 1990; o.p.) and will serve as a companion to Olivia Smith's Aging in America (Wilson, 2000).

Store Description

I sell uncommon art catalogs, academic monographs, and prints, as well as rare ephemera such as posters and zines. I ship from Brooklyn, New York. I am an alum of the Rare Book School and the Colorado Antiquarian Book Seminar, as well as Indiana University and the Ohio State University. I started in the trade at the Wexner Center for the Arts bookstore, and I have previously worked for the Columbus Metropolitan Library, the Billy Ireland Cartoon Library and Museum, the Art Institute of Chicago's Department of Prints and Drawings, and the Indiana University Art Museum's center for Prints, Drawings, and Photographs. More recently, I was the rare book cataloger at Donald Heald Rare Books, for whom I worked the ABAA's New York International Antiquarian Book Fair.
