Drawing on an extensive collection of international case studies, this volume provides an introduction to the movement. The contributors – both researchers and practitioners – touch on a number of current tensions and issues in the movement and offer a wide-ranging set of recommendations for advancing age-friendly community development. The book concludes with a call for a radical transformation of a medical and lifestyle model of aging into a relational model of health and social/individual wellbeing.Life course, culture and aging ;Volume 5.Older peopleServices forUnited StatesOlder peopleHousingUnited StatesCommunity developmentUnited Statesage friendly.aging populations.aging.anthropology.civic.community movement.community.current affairs.death.engaging.family.generational.gerontology.government and governing.health care.health.history.international case studies.medical model of aging.politics.public policy.social conditions.social issues.social problems.social science.social services.sociology.welfare.well being.who.Older peopleServices forOlder peopleHousingCommunity development362.6/30973Stafford Philip B.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910793123803321The global age-friendly community movement3760604UNINA04126oam 2200781I 450 991096098030332120250212171328.09781134812875113481287697811348128821134812884978128032541012803254109780203293584020329358410.4324/9780203200490(CKB)111056485331758(EBL)180034(OCoLC)56472406(SSID)ssj0000103564(PQKBManifestationID)11120168(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000103564(PQKBWorkID)10070005(PQKB)10529464(SSID)ssj0000288810(PQKBManifestationID)11911044(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000288810(PQKBWorkID)10382988(PQKB)11411858(MiAaPQ)EBC180034(EXLCZ)9911105648533175820180331d1995 uy 0engurcnu||||||||txtccrAnglo-American relations in the twentieth century of friendship, conflict, and the rise and decline of superpowers /Alan P.

Dobson's concise and readable book covers the whole of this century and employs selected historical detail to expose the special relationship in its true light and in all its complexity. Dobson rejects that claim that the US was ever hegemonical. Its relationship with Britain - over the Suez Crisis and Iran in the 1960's and Grenada in 1983 - clearly demonstrates that it had to bargain and did not always get its way. However, the two nations co-operated in every major crisisBritish history in perspective.International relationsGreat BritainForeign relationsUnited StatesUnited StatesForeign relationsGreat BritainUnited StatesForeign relations20th centuryInternational relations.327.41073327.410730904Dobson Alan P.472231FlBoTFGFlBoTFGBOOK9910960980303321Anglo-American relations in the twentieth century919653UNINA
