"The more than 50 short papers in this volume ... include contributions from many internationally acclaimed gerontologists who, within the space of a few pages, each present surprisingly comprehensive reviews. ... The topics given the greatest emphasis include health and demographics of aging, but there is also attention given to personality, memory, age stereotypes, and sexuality. This volume really is an excellant way ... to become familiar with many diverse fields and, in addition, to gain an international perspective on many current problems." --Journal of Gerontology
