This three-volume set provides insightful and understandable summaries of the state-of-the-art studies of aging-the most important social demographic issue facing America today. Aging in America will help us plan for the future and meet the needs of what has already become an 11-fold increase in the number of U.S. residents 65 or older. Organized around three broad themes related to aging-psychological issues, mental and physical health, and social issues-with a volume devoted to each, this unique set rallies respected scholars from across disciplines to discuss a phenomenon that will profoundly affect each of us individually and our society as a whole.
