CHANGING WORLDS AND THE AGEING SUBJECT

New Perspectives on Ageing and Later Life

Series Editors

Tony Maltby, The University of Birmingham, UK
Debra A. Street, The Pepper Institute on Aging and Public Policy
Florida State University, USA

This international collection of key research monographs provides a substantial outlet for the burgeoning body of research being conducted on ageing and later life issues. It brings to the wider academic and practitioner community both empirical and theoretical work in order to develop and refine policy and practice.

Encouraging both newly established and senior researchers alike, the series focuses on issues within social and behavioural gerontology with a direct practical application to the development of policy and practice in this field. Informative and wide-ranging, it will be of particular interest to academics, policy makers and practitioners working with older people.
