Gerontology is a multidisciplinary field, and this bibliography
provides a multidisciplinary perspective on research on aging. The
volume begins with an introductory chapter that desribes the range
of interests to be found in gerontology, discusses the core
concepts, and directs the reader to appropriate journals and
handbooks. The bibliographic chapters that follow provide
information on the most important works related to particular areas
of gerontological research. Included are bibliographies on
caregiving and health care, rituals related to death and dying,
sleep disorders, Alzheimer's Disease, coronary disease, and the use
of growth hormone in aging research. The chapters reflect social,
anthropological, biological, ethical, and medical views. Each
chapter begins with a brief essay on the latest trends in the
field, and each entry includes a citation and a descriptive and
evaluative annotation. Detailed indexes add to the usefulness of
the volume.
