Recenzii

Edited by seasoned researchers, this welcome contribution to family gerontology . . . flows smoothly from each chapter to the next, and has substantial internal integrity. Contributors include some of the leading researchers and theorists in the field. End of chapter references, selected bibliography, and subject index. Highly recommended.
The strength of the handbook is in recognizing the varied and multi-leveled aspects of aging. The text covers comprehensively a wide variety of topics on old age with up-to-date information. . . . [T]his handbook is suitable for teaching purposes as well as a source book for interested professionals.
[I]t is a welcome and much-needed addition to the handful of extant volumes in the area of family gerontology that are less broad in scope and exhaustive in depth. This volume has many strengths including its focus on both conventional and innovative topics in the subfield of family gerontology. . . . The chapters are well written and the literature reviewed in each is rarely redundant as the authors cite other chapters in the Handbook when appropriate. . . . [T]his Handbook will be an important reference for researchers. In addition, the book will serve as a text in graduate courss in family and gerontology.
Blieszner and Bedford have compiled a conprehensive book of readings, including articles by many of the major researchers and scholars in the field. . . . The book will be useful for advanced undergraduate and graduate courses and as a resource for schoalrs and practitioners.
