Recenzii
The holistic view of ageing, health and social care advocated in this book is increasingly important given the interdisciplinarity of policy and practice in these fields. The book will have a wide appeal to academics and students as well as to those who work with older people. Judith Phillips, School of Social Relations, Keele University
This is what is clearly needed: a bridge between people's experiences and thoughts across the multiple divides of services, policy and life's practicalities and unforseen changes ... a highly readable text. Community Care
... should guide both academics and practitioners into ways of translating theory into more practical approaches to working with older people. This book is a very valuable read. Ageing & Society
