| Annotation | This book grew out of a 1998 symposium at the Annual Meeting of the Gerontological Society of America, entitled "How Greater Attention to the Life Course might Revolutionize Gerontology". The book is arranged in six parts: life-course propositions and controversies; promises for the general study of ageing and later life; promises for understanding ageing and later life in specific spheres; promises for social policy; promises for understanding successful ageing; and further promises for scholarship on ageing and later life. The book also extends the editor's previous work, "Lives in time and place: the problems and promises of developmental science". (RH). |
