It uses the concept of lifespan development to understand the issues surrounding the workplace. This is truly an innovative and creative approach to understanding aging in the context of work. It is a must read for anybody interested in the life span concept as it applies to the workplace. -- Professor Sir Cary Cooper, CBE, Organizational Psychology and Health, ALLIANCE Manchester Business School. This work is comprehensive in scope while at the same time coherently anchored in lifespan theory.

Adams, Ph.D., Marquette University, Milwaukee, WI I am grateful to Baltes, Rudolph, and Zacher for bringing together the viewpoints of top scholars and gifting us this comprehensive resource for research on work from a lifespan perspective. I believe this will bring to light that while not all workers age the same and certainly not all people from a generation are the same, we have knowledge and tools, through a lifespan perspective, to help us enhance the satisfaction, productivity, and well-being of our aging and age-diverse workforce. -- Lisa M. Finkelstein, Ph.D., Northern Illinois University
