It presents programmatic applications of research in areas not often seen in Handbooks including imprisonment, technology and aging, urban society aged, and elderly migration. The authors constitute a Who′s Who of international gerontology, and the focus on globalization and aging is unique among Handbooks today. This Handbook should be in the library of every social gerontologist.

- Disciplinary overviews: summaries of findings from key disciplinary areas within social gerontology.
- Social relationships and social differences: explores area like social inequality, gender, religion, inter-generational ties, social networks, and friendships.
- Individual characteristics and change in later life: examines different aspects of individual aging, including self and identity, cognitive processes, and bio-social interactions and their impact on physical and psychological aging.
- Comparative perspectives and cultural innovations: topics include ageing and development, ageing in a global context, migration, and cross-cultural perspectives on grandparenthood.
- Policy issues: covering policy concerns such aslong-term care, technology and older people, end of life issues, work and retirement, and the politics of old age.
This will be essential reading for all students, researchers and policy-makers concerned with the major issues influencing the lives of older people across the globe.
