Taking a person-and-environment approach, Social Gerontology: A Multidisciplinary Perspective examines the complex and diverse experiences of aging using the major research findings of the field. The authors explore theories and associated evidence of the dynamic aging process, including the impact of biological, psychological, cognitive, emotional, interpersonal, economic, social and cultural forces on aging as well as the heterogeneity of the older population.

The 11th Edition has been updated to reflect profound changes in the way society views aging as well as impactful recent social policies and practices. Topics receiving fresh coverage include trends in family caregiving; technology; love, intimacy and romance; the structural resilience of the older population; intergenerational programs and practices; age-friendly housing arrangements; health and long-term services and supports and more.
