| Annotation | 'The Cambridge handbook of age and ageing' is a guide to the body of knowledge, theory, policy and practice relevant to old age researchers and gerontologists. It is organised into seven parts and comprises some 80 original chapters, commissioned and written by leading gerontologists from 16 countries and 5 continents. While the broad focus is on the behavioural and social sciences, the book also includes important contributions from the biological and medical sciences. It provides authoritative accounts on key topics, ranging from theories of ageing, to demography, physical aspects of ageing, mental processes and ageing, nursing and health care for older people, the social context of ageing, cross-cultural perspectives, relationships, quality of life, gender, and financial and policy provision.
