Good book, interesting stats... September 17, 2007
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I am only a few chapters into this book so far, but it seems to be a good read. I have already learned several new things about aging and look forward to my continued reading. My only complaint so far is that while interesting, I think that there are too many statistics. This kind of takes away the importance of some of the more pertinent facts and would be far too many to memorize.
College level geriatrics book February 28, 2007
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
This book is simple to read and it covers all topics related with aging and geriatrics. I think this is a good source, but last semester I used one by John Cavanaugh and I considered that one a level higher than thisone. I mean this is a general topic book. I bouth it for my Social Work with the Elderly college class, and I don't really consider it too deep in the topic of social Work, but more a generalized information book.
Very Informative March 22, 2006

Text is laid out very well, easy to read. There is a lot of good information in this book related to aging--physical, emotional, cognitive and social factors. The chapters are organized by topic with a lot of graphs and research info. to back it up. The only negative I have is that there is a lot of research data in the text which can get make reading all of it a little boring.
