Ageing and the Lifecourse series
Series Editor: Judith Phillips
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

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.
