NEW IN PAPERBACK

Safeguarding older people from abuse

Angie Ash

"This book is written with clarity of purpose and perspective and deserves to be read widely." Liz Lloyd, University of Bristol

This critical and challenging book makes a strong case for the development of ethically-driven, research-informed policy and practice to safeguard older people from abuse.

Ageing, meaning and social structures

Jan Baars, Joseph Dohmen, Amanda Grenier and Chris Phillipson

"A much-needed integration of two relatively new but flourishing areas of ageing studies." Peter G. Coleman, University of Southampton

Ageing, meaning and social structure makes a major contribution to understanding key social and ethical dilemmas facing ageing societies.

The new science of ageing

Alan Walker

"Provides a benchmark against which future research into ageing will be measured." Chris Phillipson, University of Manchester

This unique book represents the first multi-disciplinary examination of ageing, covering everything from basic cell biology, to social participation in later life, to the representations of old age in the arts and literature.

Retiring to Spain

Anya Ahmed

"A beautifully crafted book confirming the importance of subjectivity and agency framed within persistent gendered social worlds." Louise Ackers, University of Salford

This book is a study of nostalgia, belonging and community which provides a new theoretical framework for understanding retirement migration.

Ageing, insight and wisdom

Ricca Edmondson

"Ricca Edmondson’s critical expedition transforms our understanding of ageing as artful, ethical, meaningful and deeply human." Stephen Katz, Trent University

This book focuses on older people as makers of meaning and insight, highlighting the evolving values, priorities and ways of communicating that make later life fascinating.

Population ageing from a lifecourse perspective

Kathrin Komp and Stina Johansson

"Population ageing is a key social issue, yet seldom studied as a lifecourse phenomenon. This contribution fills the gap in the literature."Jani Erola, University of Turku, Finland.

This timely volume, part of the Ageing and the Lifecourse series, argues that the lifecourse perspective helps us understand the causes and effects of population ageing.

COMING SOON...
