Robert Hagan: Ageing Matters, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Blurb

Ageing Matters takes a life course and critical gerontological approach that will introduce a range of key issues relevant to older people across 12 chapters, covering issues related to work, physical and mental health, relationships, sexuality, race, abuse, dementia, citizenship and inclusion and substance use. It will challenge readers to work as allies and advocates for those who are ageing and feel confident about promoting their autonomy and sense of personhood throughout this life stage.

This accessible and readable introductory textbook includes:

• Case examples with questions for readers to ponder as well as reflective questions.
• Inclusion of the voices of older people throughout, to gain a sense of their direct thoughts about the topics under discussion.
• Additional reading and further resources at the end of each chapter.
