| Annotation | This publication has been published to support the joint bid by the three UK member societies of the International Association of Gerontology to hold the World Congress of Gerontology of 2005 in Glasgow. It reflects the state of British gerontology and academic geriatric medicine in 1997. Contributions are: Overview - Margot Jefferys; The development of geriatric services - Douglas MacMahon; The biology of ageing - Brian Merry, Ioan Davies and Tom Kirkwood; The sociology of later life - Chris Phillipson; Social policy and ageing - Alan Walker. The final chapter - The roles of older people and citizenship, by Eric Midwinter - raises issues around citizenship, rights and responsibilities, ageism, discrimination, and rationing. |
