| Annotation | This first of two volumes explores and describes lessons from case studies on how to promote successful ageing on personal and social levels in the US, Israel and Australia. It is arranged in three sections, the first of which considers the art of coping with growing older. Five chapters variously refer to personal creativity and creative ageing; health and well-being through occupation in later life; age-related cognitive ability and dysfunction; and widowed older women, and living to 100 in Australia. The three chapters in Section 2 - on adapting to health challenges with age - look at family and community health care, the implications of ageing for public policy, and ageing immigrants' help seeking for health-related problems. Section 3, the art of making a place for older people in society, considers intergenerational solidarity, social networks (of older Mexican immigrants in the US), migration, the interpersonal environment, and ageing in place.
