Featured Title of the Month

Handbook of Aging and the Social Sciences from Elsevier Science and Technology

The Handbook of Aging and the Social Sciences, Sixth Edition provides a comprehensive summary and evaluation of recent research on the social aspects of aging. The chapters are divided into four sections discussing Aging and Time, Aging and Social Structure, Social Factors and Social Institutions, and Aging and Society. Within this context, aging is examined from the perspectives of many disciplines and professions including anthropology, bioethics, demography, economics, epidemiology, law, political science, psychology, and sociology. The Sixth Edition of the Handbook is virtually 100% new material. Seventeen chapters are on subjects not carried in the previous edition.

Some of the exciting new topics include:

There is also a greater emphasis on international perspectives, particularly in chapters on aging and politics, diversity and aging, and immigration.
