| Annotation | The two previous editions (1993 and 1990) had the title 'Ageing in society: an introduction to social gerontology'. This new edition has been extensively rewritten to reflect new trends in European gerontology. It has been developed with sponsorship from the British Society of Gerontology (BSG) to fulfil the need for an authoritative introduction to social gerontology. The first five chapters focus on disciplinary approaches to studying ageing: biological, psychological, sociological, and the research evidence base. Chapters 6-10 consider specific aspects of the lives of older people as a group: health, financial security, work, personal relationships, and the context in which they live. Later chapters consider individualistic, psychological perspectives: social attitudes and personal identities; competence and cognition; and the self and life management. Last, is the editors' view of how they see the future of ageing. (RH). |
