Successful aging: How can we create a better old age both for ourselves and others? Issues in Aging, 2 edition takes an optimistic view of aging and human potential in later life; it presents the most up-to-date facts on aging today, the issues raised by these facts, and the societal and individual responses that will create a successful old age for us all. This text presents the full picture of aging- exhibiting both the problems and the opportunities and advantages that accompany older age. It aims to illustrate how generations are dependant on one another and how social conditions affect both the individual and social institutions.
How can society and individuals effectively foster successful aging by addressing the intersection of human potential, social policy, and intergenerational dependency? Mark Novak, a scholar in the field of gerontology, utilizes current demographic data and sociological research to argue that aging should be viewed through a lens of both challenge and opportunity. The text provides a comprehensive framework for understanding how individual life choices interact with broader social institutions to shape the experience of later life.
What You Will Find
The text is regarded as a balanced, accessible introduction to gerontology that emphasizes an optimistic outlook on the aging process. Its inclusion of research-oriented digital tools suggests it is designed primarily for undergraduate students seeking a structured entry point into the study of aging.
