Ageing and Globalisation: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Ageing and Globalisation" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

Population ageing and globalisation represent two of the most radical social transformations that have occurred. This book provides, for the first time, an accessible overview of how they interact. Ageing has been conventionally framed within the boundaries of nation states, yet demographic changes, transmigration, financial globalization and the global media have rendered this perspective problematic. This much-needed book is the first to apply theories of globalisation to gerontology, including Appadurais theory, allowing readers to understand the implications of growing older in a global age. This comprehensive introduction to globalisation for gerontologists is part of the Ageing in a Global Context series, published in association with the British Society of Gerontology. It will be of particular interest to advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students and academics in this area.

Acknowledgements
As anyone who has ever written a book knows it is never just the product of the authors. Through its many stages and iterations, it benefits from the input of others, continually refining it and reshaping it. It is important to acknowledge their role in this process. The current book began life as a PhD thesis. Throughout this stage we benefitted from the wisdom, criticism and support of many people through conference presentations to coffee shop conversations. However, there are a few key people who require a special mention for their intellectual and material support. We would like to thank Chris Gilleard, Ian Rees Jones, Dick Wiggins, James Thompson and Graham Scambler for their input, arguments and encouragement throughout this period.
