The Rural Elderly in America: The Old Folks at Home

By Joseph D. Yenerall

The general concern of this work is how matters of age and place influence behaviour and attitudes. The specific focus is on the rural aged, nationally and internationally, as a population who are though to lag behind in a modernizing or modernized society. It builds a foundation of knowledge about a relatively little-known population, and then uses this neglected group to test theories of social change and adaptation.
