This SAGE Handbook integrates basic research on social dimensions of aging. It presents programmatic applications of research in areas not often seen in Handbooks including imprisonment, technology and aging, urban society aged, and elderly migration. The authors constitute a Who's Who of international gerontology, and the focus on globalization and aging is unique among Handbooks today. This Handbook should be in the library of every social gerontologist.

Vern L. Bengtson

This handbook is an impressive testimony to the vibrancy of social gerontology today. It documents the growing range of themes and disciplinary approaches in the study of societal aging. The two editors – one American, one European – have used their experience and reputation to assemble an outstanding cast of contributors who address the issues of aging societies in a truly global perspective.

Martin Kohli

Not only are the topics in this volume multidisciplinary but also the authors of the chapters come from all over the world and are acknowledged experts... All in all this is a very useful new contribution to the literature, and the editors are to be congratulated on bringing together a distinguished group of authors on such an interesting number of relevant topics.

Anthea Tinker

Provides a comprehensive overview and reflection of pivotal issues associated with the emergence of global ageing societies.

Ms Clair Rees

This book is an excellent resource.
It will allow the students to gain an insight into how the population is aging not just in the UK but in societies around the world.
There is lots of relevant information and areas which can be used as stepping stones into further research.

Mrs Shona Floyd

A very readable text that should be useful to students and researchers alike. It provides an introduction to a range of key topics in social gerontology. The section on Ageing and Individual Change was of particular interest to sports students looking for an introduction to this salient area. The issues are dealt with informatively and with insights that help place ageing within a global and increasingly important context.

Dr Mark Hickman

The book - the perfect complement for working with students.
We discover new approaches and new ideas.
