Presenting current research in an innovative text-reader format, Aging: Concepts and Controversies, Ninth Edition encourages students to become involved and take an informed stand on the major ageing issues we face as a society. Not simply a summary of research literature, this text focuses on controversies and questions, rather than on assimilating facts or arriving at a single "correct" view about ageing and older people. Drawing on their extensive expertise, the authors first provide an overview of ageing in three domains: ageing over the life course, health care, and the socioeconomic aspects of ageing. Each section is followed by a series of edited readings, offering different perspectives from experts and specialists on that subject.
