SOCIAL GERONTOLOGY: ISSUES & PROSPECTS, Second Edition, explores the complexity of aging by applying a life course perspective that views aging as an unfolding and dynamic process. It combines theoretical and practical ideas that provide students with the tools to make connections and distinctions between social definitions of age and the realities of growing older. Case studies and interactive elements throughout allow students to explore the lives of older adults, current research in the field, and prospective careers in gerontology.
