Social Gerontology: A Multidisciplinary Perspective (8th Edition)
"The topics are up-to-date and relevant.  The text includes recent information in the field but also does not neglect to provide historical information."-- Lorry Cology     Owens Community College "The "Implications for the Future" feature at the end of the chapters is a strong point.  Not only does it provide a thoughtful assessment of issues for the student, it emphasizes that the field is a dynamic one - it is changing and is going to continue to change."-- Lorry Cology     Owens Community College  "The text's focus on the positive also helps dispel the many of the myths students believe about aging."-- Lorry Cology     Owens Community College "We have used the Research Navigator in many of my Gerontology classes.  The students seem to like this and I find it very helpful in obtaining articles and for the use in the classroom while we are discussing a particular topic.  I will often have the students send me the article they are reviewing so I can follow their research and paper.-- Judy McDonald     Metropolitan Community College 'Overall the textbook is an excellent resource for teaching this class and the supplements are great for teachers and students."-- Judy McDonald     Metropolitan Community College  "The text is very thorough and I feel the authors did a good job in explaining issues/topics."-- Judy McDonald     Metropolitan Community College
