Description: In Aged Care Diane Gibson synthesizes a wide range of material to provide a broad overview of issues and the policy responses worldwide. She then probes the issues in more depth with special reference to Australia, a country typical of most of the developed world in the problems it faces, and a world leader in the solutions it has crafted for many of them. Finally Dr. Gibson engages the issues at a more conceptual level, examining both their theoretical implications and practical consequences.
