Aging Matters

Aging Matters approaches social gerontology through several lenses at once. It examines how growing older is shaped by culture, biology, physiology, emotions, cognition, economics and social circumstances, treating these as connected parts of one picture rather than separate subjects.

The book is meant for students and readers from any academic field. Its central concern is the ongoing exchange between older adults and the surroundings they live in, and how those settings and personal changes affect each other over time.
