This book offers an account of the present situation and analyzes some of the problems and options for the future. This edition has been completely rewritten and updated. It offers a broad coverage of the subject, taking into account a wide range of literature from medicine, architecture, sociology, psychology and social policy. No previous knowledge is assumed. It is aimed at students studying degree and diploma courses in gerontology, the social sciences, medicine, nursing, social work, law and geography.
