Buxtehude: Complete Works for Organ, Vol. 5

The 20th and final volume in the landmark series "Societal Impact on Aging," Social Structures and Aging Individuals: Continuing Challenges is the culmination of two decades of work on this crucial issue. Edited by K. Warner Schaie and Ronald P. Abeles, this book examines the previous 19 volumes in order to assess what has been learned regarding older persons and their changing society, what are the continuing struggles, and what will be the future challenges.

For fast access to the specific information you need, it is organized under five broad topics gleaned from the previous 19 volumes. They are: Health and well-being including the role of religion, Personality and cognition, The impact of changes in technology and the workplace, Sociocultural change and historical context, Examples of the family and societal context of aging.

Each section features a number of prominent scientists, many of them integral to this series, commenting on what the previous volumes have accomplished, what they have missed, what timely new topics have emerged, and what will be the issues most likely to emerge. The result is this comprehensive compendium addressing the societal impact on aging, an exhaustive and seminal collection on the past and future of this increasingly vital study.
