Reviews

Dr Lowry has created an important resource for students interested in the field of aging. All readers, whatever their chosen career path, will find much to stimulate their thinking in this book. It accurately captures the complexities of growing older, as well as helps us think more clearly about important issues in Gerontology.--Yvonne Lozano, University of Arizona Global Campus
