A thorough, multidisciplinary review of the diverse process of aging and the current research surrounding it
The best-selling Social Gerontology: A Multidisciplinary Perspective presents the diversities of the aging experience — the interaction between the physiological, cognitive, emotional, interpersonal, social, and cultural forces on aging, as well as the heterogeneity of the older population in terms of age, race, class, gender, functional ability, and sexual orientation. The Tenth Edition explores new research connecting the relationship between older people and their environments, and its impact on their quality of life and overall well-being. The text also captures profound changes in societal views, and provides critical information about growing economic disparities among the older population.
Social Gerontology: A Multidisciplinary Perspective, Tenth Edition is also available via Revelâ„¢, an interactive learning environment that enables students to read, practice, and study in one continuous experience. Learn more.
