Intersections of Aging provides students with compellingly written and challenging articles that will promote intellectual growth and increase understanding of aging and related issues. The text examines the following questions: \* How do race, ethnicity, gender, and socio-economic position shape the life course of older people's lives \* Is there one standard or many for 'successful aging' \* Why do groups and individuals differ from one another in old age >Intersections of Aging delves into these and other issues--combining academic and clinical articles with literary and personal accounts. It includes discussions of: \* Historical, social, and cultural constructions of old age\* The importance of incorporating race, ethnicity, gender, and social class into models of aging\* How older people construct their self-concept, individuality, and actions in old age--and how this affects the meaning, value, and purpose of their lives\* Current health and well-being concerns\* Social and family relationships\* Work and retirement issues\* Policy and politics shaping old age>Markson and Hollis-Sawyer provide articulate, intelligent introductions to each unit and each article.
