Description:... Atchley's interdisciplinary approach has produced a text which provides the concepts, information, insight and examples students need to achieve a basic understanding of aging as a social process. Covering the physical problems, inner experiences and instrumental needs of the aging, Atchley examines aging on both an individual and societal level. Atchley covers major areas of theory, research, social policy, and practice in a clear and organized manner to make social gerontology accessible to students from all backgrounds.
