Encyclopedia of Aging
Gale Group | 2003 | ISBN: 0028654722 | 2000 pages | PDF | 12 MB

The great increase in the scholarly study of aging is attributable to both demographic increases and the growth in clinical and social services to the aging population. Correspondingly, we see an increase in the number of reference works published in an area that is of high interest popularly, academically, and professionally. In more than 400 entries, this encyclopedia aims "to present advanced ideas about aging at an accessible level." The editor in chief, Ekerdt, a professor of sociology and gerontology at the University of Kansas, and six other editors worked with the many contributors (also more than 400), both scholars and practitioners from the U.S and abroad.
