Critical Perspectives on Aging

The Political and Moral Economy of Growing Old

By: Meredith Minkler,Carroll Estes

This unique volume brings together 20 critical essays on aging within the context of the broad social, political, and economic factors that help shape and determine the realities of growing old. Rather than viewing aging in isolation, it explores the social creation of old age dependency and the profound influence of race, gender, and social class on what it means to grow old. It looks too at such topics as the "biomedicalization" of aging; the role of business and the media in changing societal images of the old; the fact and fiction behind "senior power"; the multibillion dollar nursing home industry; and the role of advanced capitalist nations in creating economic dependency among elders in the Third World.

Personal Health: A Population Perspective

By: Michele Kiely,Meredith Manze,Chris Palmedo

Personal Health: A Population Perspective will engage your students in understanding relevant personal health issues, set within a broader population health framework.

Students will learn not only how personal choices affect their own health, but that of their family, community and the world around them. Designed for fulfilling health distribution requirements or an introductory class for public health majors, the authors address the principles outlined by the Association of Schools & Programs of Public Health (ASPPH) for undergraduate public health education, throughout the text.
