This book was conceived as a project of the Association for
Anthropology and Gerontology, a multidisciplinary and international
organization, formed in 1978, that is dedicated to the exploration
and understanding of aging within and across the diversity of human
cultures. The perspective of the Association is holistic,
comparative and international. Membership is drawn from both
academic and applied sectors and includes the social and biological
sciences, medicine, urban planning, policy studies, social work and
the development, administration and provision of services for the
aged. Information about membership may be obtained from Dr. Eunice
Boyer, Department of Sociology and Anthropology, Carthage College,
Kenosha, Wisconsin WI, 53141 USA. Vll ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS In a
