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.The volumes cover a wide range of topics, including neuroscience, memory, end-of-life choices, health, care-giving, medication adherence, the benefits of exercise, personal relationships, elder abuse, and other vital issues. The gains of longevity are explored, as are the agonies of loss as we age. As a society, we need to assure that older adults not only survive but thrive. This set helps point the way.
