Geriatric medicine is generally defined as medical care for adults aged 65 years and older. In Africa and in many developing countries, where the average life expectancy is less than 65 years, medical care of the older adult is still being defined and is in its infancy stages. There are also disparities in health and health care of older adults of African origin in most countries across the world. The aim of this book is to provide a clinical practice resource for physicians and allied health professionals, as they deliver clinical care for older adults of African descent all over the world. It is not intended to be a comprehensive textbook for geriatric medicine. Instead, we focus on common health care issues and unique cultural characteristics that often impact health care utilization in this vulnerable subset of older adults. Chapter authors are medical experts from across several continents, with extensive training and experience in providing medical care for older adults of African descent.

Contributions by Aneesh Barai, Clementine Beauvais, Justyna Deszcz-Tryhubczak, Terri Doughty, Aneta Dybska, Blanka Grzegorczyk, Zoe Jaques, Vanessa Joosen, Maria Nikolajeva, Marek Oziewicz, Ashley N. Reese, Malini Roy, Sabine Steels, Lucy Stone, Bjoern Sundmark, Michelle Superle, Nozomi Uematsu, Anastasia Ulanowicz, Helma van Lierop-Debrauwer, and Jean Webb. Intergenerational solidarity is a vital element of societal relationships that ensures survival of humanity. It connects generations, fostering transfer of common values, cumulative knowledge, experience, and culture essential to human development. In the face of global aging, changing family structures, family separations, economic insecurity, and political trends pitting young and old against each other, intergenerational solidarity is now, more than ever, a pressing need. Intergenerational Solidarity in Children's Literature and Film argues that productions for young audiences can stimulate intellectual and emotional connections between generations by representing intergenerational solidarity. For example, one essayist focuses on Disney films, which have shown a long-time commitment to variously highlighting, and then conservatively healing, fissures between generations. However, Disney-Pixar's Up and Coco instead portray intergenerational alliances - young collaborating with old, the living working alongside the dead - as necessary to achieving goals. The collection also testifies to the cultural, social, and political significance of children's culture in the development of generational intelligence and empathy towards age-others and positions the field of children's literature studies as a site of intergenerational solidarity, opening possibilities for a new socially consequential inquiry into the culture of childhood.

Nimmt man Bticher tiber Alterskrankheiten aus frtiheren Jahr zehnten zur Hand, etwa das Werk von Canstadt (1839) oder von Geist (1860), von Charcot (1868) oder den von Schwalbe 1909 herausgegebenen Sammelband, so wird man in den Vorreden immer wieder einem typischen Gedankengang begegnen. Die Verfasser wun dern sich dariiber, daB das Gebiet der Alterskrankheiten trotz seiner Wichtigkeit und Ergiebigkeit in der wissenschaftlichen Literatur ver nachlassigt werde, sie stellen ein Versagen der Kenntnisse und des Handelns, die Mangel der Diagnose und der Therapie im Alter fest, und sie erhoffen von ihrem Werk eine Belebung des lnteresses und eine Zu nahme des arztlichen Wissens und Konnens. lhre Betrachtungen haben auch heute nicht an Berechtigung und Aktualitat verloren. 1m Gegen teil. Auch heute ist die Tatigkeit auf diesem Gebiete unzureichend, aber mit der Zunahme der Lebensdauer ist der Anteil der Alten iiberall in raschem Wachstum begriffen und mit den Fortschritten der Medizin verschiebt sich ein Teil der groBen, noch zu lOsenden Probleme, wie das der Hypertonie, der Arteriosklerose, des Krebses auf Zustande, welche vorwiegend den spateren Jahren zukommen. Das letzte grofiere Werk tiber Alterskrankheiten in deutscher Sprache ist vor mehr als 20 Jahren erschienen. Es war dies das um fangreiche Buch von H. S chI e sin g e r: Die Krankheiten des hoheren Lebensalters, 1914. Es bedarf daher keiner besonderen Reehtfertigung, wenn neuerlich ein Versueh der Darstellung unternommen wird, wohl aber ist es notwendig, die Grundztige der Durchftihrung anzugeben."
