Unequal Ageing: The Untold Story of Exclusion in Old Age
Editat de Paul Cann, Malcolm Deanen Limba Engleză Paperback – sep 2009
This powerful book analyses the vital dimensions of money, health, place, quality of life and identity, and demonstrates the gaps of treatment and outcomes between older and younger people, and between different groups of older people. Written by leading experts in the field, it provides strong evidence of the scale of current disadvantage in the UK and suggests actions that could begin to change the picture of unequal ageing.'Unequal ageing' is aimed at all those with a serious interest in the unprecedented challenge of our ageing society. It will be of importance to policy-makers, opinion-formers, and above all to older people themselves.

Recenzii
This is a book for our times: its wisdom and thoughtfulness will help us all adjust to life's changing patterns. Dame Joan Bakewell, Voice of Older People
Unequal Ageing is a must-read for everyone concerned with growing imbalances in care and support of the older person. With chapter contributions from leaders in their fields, this book examines the inequalities experienced by ageing populations from a variety of perspectives - let us hope policy makers and informers read, absorb and take remedial action. Alex Mair, Chief Executive, British Geriatrics Society
...as a shout of rage against the injustices of getting old, the book should come to the attention of those wanting the votes of Britain's 20 million older people in the coming election. John Perry in 'Housing'
I have rarely come across a book on the included subjects so well written that I did not want to put it down until it was read to the end. Susan Venn in Ageing & Society
Edited by experts in ageing and social affairs, this book provides a thought-provoking text based on evidence of the disadvantages to which older adults may be exposed and suggests a useful range of actions that could be taken to address inequalities. Susan Holmes in Nursing Standard
