Opis

This text aims to remedy the problem of the neglect of the middle-aged in social history and sociology studies, a group who are consistently the most productive and powerful of all age groups. It examines how middle age has changed - in numbers, material conditions, health, family and political and social attitudes - since the 1700s and considers what these changes have meant for the middle-aged themselves and for society at large.
