Reviews
Certain to be a classic in the field and should be in every gerontologist's personal library.
The wealth of information and the careful consideration of theory development make it invaluable.
A celebration of the distinguished career of one of the major figures in gerontology. I highly recommend and encourage its adoption in advanced undergraduate and graduate gerontology courses.
Atchley's presentation of the material is well organized, and the book as a whole is written in a very accessible, sometimes even homespun style.
