Ageing and the Lifecourse series
Series Editor: Judith Phillips
"Edited and authored books in the 'Ageing and the Lifecourse' Series integrate a sophisticated understanding of ageing with novel analyses of how the life course influences policy responses and theoretical understandings of ageing in contemporary societies." Professor Sara Arber, Co-Director, Centre for Research on Ageing and Gender (CRAG), Department of Sociology, University of Surrey
"This refreshing and exciting series provides cutting edge discussion of key contemporary issues for ageing societies. It provides an essential and valuable resource for students, academics, practitioners and policy makers." John Bond, Professor of Social Gerontology, Newcastle University, UK
The study of ageing is continuing to increase rapidly across multiple disciplines. This wide-ranging series provides readers with much-needed texts and critical perspectives on the latest research, theory, policy and practice developments.
Focusing on the social rather than the medical aspects of ageing, the series bridges the gaps in the literature as well as providing cutting-edge debate on new and traditional areas of ageing, all from a lifecourse perspective.

Valuing older people A humanist approach to ageing
Ricca Edmondson, Hans-Joachim Von Kondratowitz
How can we understand older people as real human beings, value their wisdom, and appreciate that their norms and purposes both matter in themselves and are affected by those of others? Using a life-course approach this book argues that the complexity and potential creativity of later life demand a humanistic vision of older people and ageing.
