Customer Reviews

Great undergraduate human aging text!

I have used this text in my own courses and students love it! It is very well written and the authors are clearly experts on human aging. Senior View sections provide the perspective of a Senior on some of the issues discussed in the text. I recommend this book to anyone teaching an undergraduate human aging course. It is particularly helpful within psychology but has a multidisciplinary bent at times that makes it palpable in a health aging course as well.
