Becoming and Being Old: Sociological Approaches to Later Life

Examines the assumptions normally made about the elderly and offers differing sociological perspectives on becoming and being old, and on the concept of age itself. This book examines the life-cycle perspective on old age and shows how retirement from the workforce is only one aspect of becoming old.
