Описание: This book looks at the relationships between the physical-social environment and the elderly in Europe and Latin America, from the Environmental Gerontology perspective and through geographical and psychosocial approaches. It addresses the main environmental issues of population ageing, based on an understanding of the complex relationships, adjustments and adaptations between different environments (home, residence, public spaces, landscapes, neighbourhoods, urban and rural environment) and the quality of life of the ageing population, associated with residential strategies and other aspects related to health and dependency. The different levels of socio-spatial analysis are also explored: macro (urban and rural environments, regions and landscapes), meso (neighbourhood, public space) and micro (personal, home and institution). New theoretical and methodological approaches are proposed to analyse the attributes and functions of the physical-social environment of the elderly, as well as new ways of living the ageing process. All will have to respond to the challenges of urbanisation, globalisation and climate change in the 21st century. Also, the different experiences and challenges of public planning and management professionals involved with the growing ageing population are presented, and will require greater association and collaboration with the academic and scientific fields of Environmental Gerontology.

Описание: Uniquely bridging a gap in the gerontology literature between the biological and psychosocial aspects of aging, the second edition of this interdisciplinary text provides key updates on an abundance of cutting edge research, expands information on diversity issues in aging, and examines in greater depth the physiology of aging, theories of biological aging, and methodological issues.
Описание: Focuses on men`s health and aging. Cutting-edge chapters discuss the different complex factors that can lead to advancing our understanding on older men`s health. The volume is organised in two sections: contemporary issues, and emerging perspectives about men`s health and aging.
Описание: Through the autobiographical perspectives of preeminent researchers and scholars of Environmental Gerontology, this state-of-the-art annual review examines the broad range of topics that comprise this interdisciplinary field. The writings trace the growth and evolution of Environmental Gerontology and provide understanding of, and insights on, the role of environments for older adults.
