This best-selling, multidisciplinary, social aging text presents positive images of aging while considering the many factors that contribute to how aging individuals experiences life.

Up-to-date and expanded, this text offers a comprehensive view that presents aging positively, portraying concepts of active aging and resiliency, and defining “productive aging” by elaborating on the numerous ways elders contribute to society and their families. Based on the latest research findings, it offers greater depth to critical issues of aging, attending to differences by age and cohort, gender, ethnic minority status, sexual orientation, and socio-economic status.

  • 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.

    • Immigration and immigrant elders

    • 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
