Opis

"Baby Boomers" presents a groundbreaking study of aging as it is affecting the baby boom generation. Taking a widely interdisciplinary approach, the book brings together insights from culture, history, gerontology, demographics, and more to paint a picture of how this cohort has faced aging and its physical, mental, emotional, and social effects. As communities, nations, and economies begin to grapple with the complexities of the aging of this large demographic group, "Baby Boomers" will help people understand, think about, and plan for the effects of aging.
