THE FUTURE OF THE SOCIOLOGY OF AGING- Sociology of Aging in the Decade Ahead -- About the Editors and Contributors. 330 $a  The Handbook of Sociology of Aging is the most comprehensive and engaging treatment of the field over the past 30 years. It is an indispensable resource for scholars, policy makers, and aging professionals alike. The Handbook of Sociology of Aging contains 45 far-reaching chapters, authored by nearly 80 of the most renowned experts, on the most pressing topics related to aging today. With its recurring attention to the social forces that shape human aging, and their social consequences and policy implications of it, the contents will be of interest to everyone who cares about what aging means for individuals, families, and societies. Two forwards highlight the significance of the handbook for scholarship and and policy-making on aging. The chapters illustrate the field?s extraordinary breadth and depth, which have never before been represented in a single volume. They range from foundational matters, including classic and contemporary theories and methods, to topics of longstanding and emergent interest, such as social diversity and inequalities, social relationships, social institutions, economies and governments, social vulnerabilities, public health, and care arrangements. The volume closes with a set of personal essays by senior scholars who share their experiences and hopes for the field, and an essay by the editors that previews some of the most exciting aspects for the decade ahead. The Handbook of Sociology of Aging showcases the very best that sociology has to offer the study of human aging.  . 410 0$aHandbooks of Sociology and Social Research,$x1389-6903 606 $aAging 606 $aPublic health 606 $aSocial policy 606 $aQuality of life 606 $aAging$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X11000 606 $aPublic Health$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H27002 606 $aSocial Policy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W34020 606 $aQuality of Life Research$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X23000 615 0$aAging. 615 0$aPublic health. 615 0$aSocial policy. 615 0$aQuality of life. 615 14$aAging. 615 24$aPublic Health. 615 24$aSocial Policy. 615 24$aQuality of Life Research. 676 $a305.26 702 $aSettersten$b Jr., Richard A$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aAngel$b Jacqueline L$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910785506303321 996 $aHandbook of Sociology of Aging$93816428 997 $aUNINA
