Experiencing the Life Cycle A Social Psychology of Aging

From the 2nd Edition This edition . . . reflects a commitment to interdisciplinary thinking and draws heavily from the research of anthropologists, demographers, historians and psychologists to supplement the underlying symbolic interactionist view of aging. It is also about 30 percent longer than the first edition and contains a new chapter on 'The Politics of the Life Social Policies, Perceptions and Prospects'. All the other chapters have been considerably revised and extensively updated as well.
