Aging and Older Adulthood - 4th Edition by Joan T Erber (Paperback)

Aging and Older Adulthood is a comprehensive textbook that provides an in-depth exploration of the psychological aspects of aging, covering topics such as health, sensory perception, memory, intellect, social interactions, employment, and retirement.

The book offers a dual lens approach to understanding aging, using the selective optimization with compensation model and the ecological model to provide cohesiveness in the presentation of both theoretical and applied material.

Each chapter includes real-world scenarios that are referred back to throughout the chapter, as well as pedagogical feature boxes that reflect current understanding of contemporary issues in the field and key points and issues for further discussion.

This text is an excellent resource for upper division undergraduate and graduate courses focusing on aging, psychology, gerontological studies, and lifespan development.

With its updated research findings and expanded coverage of concepts and ideas, Aging and Older Adulthood is a must-have for anyone interested in understanding the complexities of aging and the psychological factors that influence this life stage.
