Issues in Aging combines social, psychological, biological, and
philosophical perspectives to present a multifaceted picture of
aging. Novak illustrates both the problems and the opportunities
that accompany older age. This text helps students understand the
tremendous variability in aging and introduces them to careers
working with older adults. This new edition reflects the continued
changes in the way we age. The fourth edition has been updated to
include emerging issues in aging. These include the prevalence of
HIV/AIDs in later life, current research on mental potential in old
age, the creation of age-friendly cities, and new options for
end-of-life care. Each chapter begins with a set of learning
objectives to guide students in their reading, and concludes with a
list of main points, questions for discussion or study, suggested
readings, and relevant web sites to consult. Each chapter also
includes up-to-date charts and graphs as well as key terms to help
students understand the issues presented. Break out boxes reveal
the human side of aging through the stories of individuals in real
life and in the media.
