Written by established and emerging leaders in a broad array of
disciplines, this two-volume set provides undergraduate and
graduate students, scholars, professionals, and policymakers with
an overview of the field of aging that examines the social
landscape as well as key changes, challenges, and solutions. The
people who make up the rapidly growing population of Americans over
age 65 are changing, and as a result, our nation will change. This
shift presents new issues, controversies, and challenges that
affect health, wellness, welfare, retirement, politics, and
economics. This two-volume work examines where we are and where we
are headed, paying careful attention to the differential impacts of
gender, race, class, marital status, and other social variables. It
considers key changes in demographics, old-age policies, families,
work, and death and dying. Volume one covers an array of
demographic issues, policies, and politics, highlighting how
factors such as gender and race shape families, income, retirement,
immigrants, and veterans across the life course. The second volume
covers education, religion, volunteering, exercise, nutrition, and
health care policies across the life course. Topics addressed
include the old-age welfare state, the extension of retirement age,
home care, care work, nursing home care, end of life planning, and
euthanasia. Provides an up-to-date, multidisciplinary, and
forward-thinking look at the key areas and issues in gerontology
