| Annotation | In November 2001, a symposium was held at the Gerontological Society of America in Chicago to commemorate the life and work of gerontologist, M Powell Lawton whose specialism was physical environment-ageing studies. This collection of articles stems from contributions at the symposium as a tribute to Powell Lawton's work. The authors were charged to summarise the impact that Powell Lawton's work had on their own fields of inquiry within environment-ageing relations. Some of these authors were mentored by Powell Lawton, others are their students. The articles range from the philosophical foundations of the paradigms that guided Powell Lawton's thinking and research, through to Powell Lawton's contributions to both research and product design in the micro-environmental human factors sphere. This issue of the Journal of Housing for the Elderly is also published by the Haworth Press as a monographic "separate". (KJ/RH). |
