Best aging text around
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
I teach a course in the Sociology of Aging and this edition of the text is even better than the last edition. Quadagno covers all the important topics - caring for the frail elderly, retirement, income in later life, health and health care and death and dying. The book is quite attractive and the writing is clear and interesting. My students always love it. No text provides better coverage of all the issues salient to my course. Love it.
