This major reference is a substantially revised edition of
Palmore's "International Handbook on Aging," which was voted Choice
Outstanding Academic Book of 1980. The reference collects and
summarizes information on programs and research in gerontology in
most countries where significant work is taking place. The chapters
are arranged alphabetically, with each chapter devoted to a
particular country. The countries selected represent a wide range
of social, political, geographic, and economic conditions, and ten
new countries are included in this edition.
Each chapter provides current information on the unique features
of the country profiled; the roles and status of the aged; problems
of the elderly; programs for older adults; research in biomedical,
psychological, and sociological aspects of aging; and sources of
additional information. Each chapter closes with a list of works
for further consultation, and the handbook concludes with an
appendix of gerontological associations and a bibliography.
Gerontologists, social scientists, and policymakers will find this
reference a valuable and current guide to developments and research
on aging around the world.
