Sociology

This product accompanies:
Hooyman & Kiyak,  Social Gerontology: A Multidisciplinary Perspective, 9/E

A multidisciplinary approach focuses on the sociological, psychological, and biological and cultural aspects of aging.

Themes that underlie each chapter are the importance of congruence between elders and their environment, and of the interaction between the biological, psychological, and social aspects of aging, all within a life course ­perspective that takes account of historical, economic and cultural and structural contexts.

Integrates coverage of women and ethnic minorities in every chapter, and in separate chapters that address international and cross-cultural aging issues, as well as the population's strengths and resiliency.

Integrates coverage of multigenerational and intergenerational exchanges that affect quality of life.

Complete coverage of the demographics of an aging society, and how the changing population affects every institution in our society, as well as the global environment.

Critical issues, major debates, and legislation around controversial legal and ethical issues, particularly the “right-to-die” movement and “rationing” health care, are presented in the context of social aging theories.

Each chapter concludes with “Glossary,” “Resources,” “References,” and “Summary and Implications.”

13-session telecourse, “Growing Old in a New Age,” produced by the Annenberg Corporation and the University of Hawaii, is based on and written specifically for this text. Ancillilaries for Hooyman/Kiyak include materials for instructors and student to support use of the telecourse with the text.

 

For a full list of chapter-by-chapter changes, please see below.

 

Highlights on new research findings are:

• Extending both years and quality of life
• Enhancing active aging, and maintaining productivity (i.e., contributing to society in a wide range of ways) through both paid and unpaid activities
• Immigration and immigrant elders
• Health and long-term care, including unpaid family caregivers and underpaid direct care workers, as well as public policies supporting them, such as consumer-directed care, integrated care systems, and Medicaid waivers for home and community-based care.
• Health disparities and health care disparities (e.g., access to services) across the life course
• Preventing, diagnosing, and treating depression and dementias such as Alzheimer’s disease  the benefits of health promotion and of spirituality for achieving and maintaining active aging also has more research support, demonstrated in this edition. 
• The growing number of grandparents as primary caregivers of grandchildren and the policy and programmatic barriers confronting them.
• Technology, including growing computer utilization, and universal design that help people “age in place”   
• Interventions to change the culture of long-term care and to develop elder-friendly communities.
• Newer models of long-term care such as assisted living, adult family homes, and adult day health
• Gay, lesbian, bisexual and transsexual (GLBT) older adults and attendant policy and practice implications

Both the resilience of and the problems faced by older women and elders of color are emphasized throughout.  The concepts of successful aging, active aging, productive aging and civic engagement are presented in more detail and critiqued.

 

The chapters on social, health, and long-term care policies reflect contemporary policy debates related to privatization, federal and state budget cuts, and the impact of the 2003 Medicare prescription drug law.

 

Culturally competent methods to understand and meet the needs of an increasingly diverse older population are discussed throughout and expanded in chapter 14.

  This introductory text, written from a conflict perspective, emphasizes four themes: diversity, the struggle by the powerless to achieve social justice, the changing economy, and globalization.

   

  In Conflict and Order studies the forces that lead to both stability and change in society. As the authors examine the standard topics in an introductory course, they show how social conditions are structural in origin. While the pace of social change is increasing, society's institutions are resistant to change.  

   

  Eitzen and Baca Zinn challenge students to develop a sociological perspective by questioning their own basic beliefs and debating the facts rather than merely accepting the authors' way of looking at the world.

  This text focuses on the significance of race, class, and gender; uses personal narratives to convey how problems are experienced by individuals and groups; and applies sociological perspectives throughout to examine social issues.

   

  In the fourth edition of Social Problems in a Diverse Society, author Diana Kendall continues to focus on the significance of race, class, and gender as key factors in our understanding of social problems in the United Stated and around the globe. Throughout the text, all people - but particularly people of color and white women - are shown not merely as "victims" of social problems, but as individuals who resist discrimination and inequality and seek to bring about changes in families, schools, workplaces, and the larger society. The author, who specializes in social theory, uses the three main sociological perspectives throughout the text, along with contemporary feminist and humanist perspectives. Authentic, first person accounts - "real words from real people" create interest and show how the problems being discussed affect people as they go about their daily lives. This new edition has more than 200 new references, many new boxed features, and substantial updating throughout.
