Aging Concepts and Controversies Tenth Edition by Harry R. Moody

• ISBN-13  978-1544371719

Aging: Ideas and Disputes has been crafted to foster a method of instruction and learning that transcends factual information and techniques. This original text emphasizes debates and uncertainties rather than the mere absorption of facts or the establishment of a singular “accurate” perspective on aging or individuals of advanced age. Leveraging on their broad knowledge, writers Harry R. Moody and Jennifer R. Sasser initially present a general view of aging across three spheres: aging throughout life, healthcare, and socio-economic tendencies. Each segment incorporates statistics and theoretical frameworks, aiding readers in deciphering the disputes and comprehending their roots, prompting analytical thinking, and crafting personal opinions. The Tenth Revision of this notable textbook comprises expanded dialogues centered on distinctions, variety, structural imbalances, and incorporation, along with contemporary subjects like environmental transformation and migration.
