Social Forces and Aging

Summary: Somewhat dry and the ideas aren't linked very well....
Review: I took a class which required this text for reading thoughout the term. I found it to be hard to follow and a little on the dry side. Several topics could of been linked together, and several statistics in the book where quoted twice with varying values. I also found over ten typos without looking.

Summary: Slow reading with topics not well linked together.
Review: This text is slow reading and the topics are not well linked together, however the repetitive nature of the writing style allows the concepts to be revisited and helps reinforce each topic. A strong class room instructor can manage the material, helping the student link the topics together. There is a wealth of information in this text for an undergraduate couse in aging.
