Independence and the Elderly (eBook, PDF)

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

In the 1980s few studies adopted a positive attitude to ageing and elderly people. First published in 1986, reissued with a new preface, this book helped to redress this imbalance by focusing on the theme of independence, examined particularly from the perspective of housing and social policies relating to elderly people.
