Product Description
Review
The UCLA teaching team for the class we have taught for now 11 years agreed your text book will be ours next year...Biologist Rita Effros (recent recipient of the Kleimier Award) thought you covered the biology better than the other texts we have used...I love the treatment of women and ethnic elders. The strength perspective, yes!
We are all excited about using it for our 180 freshman. Now we will be even better with your book!
- JoAnn Damron-Rodriguez and colleagues, UCLA
Book Description
This best-selling, multidisciplinary, social aging text presents positive images of aging while considering the many factors that contribute to how aging individuals experiences life.
Up-to-date and expanded, this text offers a comprehensive view that presents aging positively, portraying concepts of active aging and resiliency, and defining “productive aging” by elaborating on the numerous ways elders contribute to society and their families. Based on the latest research findings, it offers greater depth to critical issues of aging, attending to differences by age and cohort, gender, ethnic minority status, sexual orientation, and socio-economic status.

This review is from: Social Gerontology: A Multidisciplinary Perspective (Hardcover)
This is a great book for offering information on all things gerontology for social work. It provides some interesting physiological info on things like cataracts, alzheimer's disease, and dementia that are essential for all social workers to know. I highly recommend purchasing this book!

This review is from: Social Gerontology: A Multidisciplinary Perspective (Hardcover)
I ordered the 9th edition, as listed on my invoice and order, but I was sent the 5th edition. Bummer, because I need it for a class TODAY. The package arrived prior to promised date, which I was pleased, just wish it was the correct order. Now I have to wait until I get a credit of 78$, and then I can afford to buy the book AGAIN!
