Produktbeschreibung

First published in 1983, the chapters in this title draw attention to the changed circumstances in which ageing takes place, at the subjective level, at the level of care and provision, and at the level of theory. As a whole it offers a view of social gerontology and illustrates the integration of theory and practice.
