Journals

Ageing & Society

Website of Ageing & Society, an interdisciplinary and international journal devoted to the understanding of human ageing and the circumstances of older people in their social and cultural contexts. It draws contributions and has readers from many academic social science disciplines, and from clinical medicine and the humanities. In addition to original articles, Ageing & Society publishes book reviews, occasional review articles and special issues.

The Gerontologist

Website of The Gerontologist, published since 1961, a bimonthly journal (first issue in February) of The Gerontological Society of America that provides a multidisciplinary perspective on human aging through the publication of research and analysis in gerontology, including social policy, program development, and service delivery.

Journal of Aging Studies

Website of the Journal of Aging Studies. The Journal features scholarly papers offering new interpretations that challenge existing theory and empirical work. Articles need not deal with the field of aging as a whole, but with any defensibly relevant topic pertinent to the aging experience and related to the broad concerns and subject matter of the social and behavioral sciences and the humanities. The journal emphasizes innovations and critique - new directions in general - regardless of theoretical or methodological orientation or academic discipline.

Paradoxen en perspectieven van leven in de tijd

Jan Baars

SWP Publishing
Maart 2006 (3e geactualiseerde herdruk, november 2012)

Het nieuwe ouder worden is geschreven uit verbazing over hoe er wordt omgegaan met een van de meest ingrijpende veranderingen van de laatste decennia. Terwijl de levensverwachting in de laatste 150 jaar is verdubbeld en mensen in het algemeen steeds langere en gezondere levens leiden, worden ze zo snel tot de ouderen gerekend dat hun verdere leven gemakkelijk twee keer zo lang kan duren als hun 'normale' volwassenheid.
