The Sociology Of Aging

This text provides a comprehensive overview of the sociology of aging, and remains the only book of its kind to approach aging from a purely sociological perspective. This new edition is completely updated throughout, with new chapters that discuss the now immanent retirement of the first of the baby boomers, the new form housing arrangements known as semi-independent or assisted living, elder abuse in nursing homes (and quality issues in nursing homes generally), and the long-term problems facing Medicare and Social Security.

Great book for Gerontology, Counseling or Sociology class, or just for general reading. Will learn so much about how we age, or someone who you might be caring for. Highly recommended!!!

Need to sell with no fault of seller. I dropped this class and will try to resell this book. The book arrived on time and was everything that I needed; however, I decided not to take the class!
