Product Description
Product Description
In the new, updated edition of this textbook, Harry Moody takes an approach which combines theory with controversy at a time when every aspect of provision for the aged is under scrutiny or attack.
Students are invited to discuss social and ethical issues such as health-care provision and euthanasia, as well as more theoretical arguments about the meaning of old age.

Comprehensive and Articulate, 21 Jun 2000
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Aging: Concepts and Controversies (Paperback)
It is a great resource for anyone studying the aging process or is in the business of caring for the elderly. It confronts major issues that we are dealing with, and attempts to answer tough questions from both a personal, academic, professional and policy perspective.
