Beschreibungen/Notizen
Rural aging is not a clear-cut rosy picture of chocolate-box cottages in the glow of hazy sunshine. Rather, as Rural Ageing: A Good Place to Grow Old? demonstrates, growing older in rural communities is a complex, subjective, and often challenging phenomenon that has received surprisingly little attention in the literature. Overall, Rural Ageing fulfils its dual aim to deconstruct assumptions about aging and rurality. In addition to articulating the critical importance of confronting a neglected field of study, the book is particularly strong in explaining and applying a critical approach that connects social gerontology, human ecology, and lifecourse perspectives into a coherent framework for studying aging, place, and time.
