Summary: Maintaining Competence in Old Age
Review: This compilation of important issues in the field of Aging is authored by several renowned researchers. It is a volume which covers a broad range of cutting edge research findings and commentaries on research conducted within the last decade. This interdisciplinary look into the societal mechanisms that affect older adults includes support systems, cognitive training, and environmental supports. It touches on active life expectancy, disability, institutional life, and more. These treatises, brought together in one volume, add validity to each other on these cutting edge research topics dealing with maintaining competence in old age. I not only found this book to be informative for my independent research studies, but also rather enjoyed reading it. I think it is an important volume to have on your shelf if you are interested in the field of Aging, whether you are a current researcher, undergrad or grad student, or involved in the field of Gerontology in any way.
