Industry Reviews

Scholars investigating social gerontology during the past three decades have produced an enormous amount of empirical research studying a wide variety of issues related to the aging process. Language and aging in multicultural settings: A dynamic perspective is among the best written, most comprehensive, and most compelling books to be published during this period. The authors advance a dynamic and an integrative approach toward our understanding of the aging process that places Language at the very core of any competent understanding of the aging process. This book advances our understanding of aging, the role language plays in the aging process and is certainly a must read for any scholar interested in the aging process.
