About the Book

This volume and its companion, The new dynamics of ageing volume 2, provide comprehensive multi-disciplinary overviews of the very latest research on ageing. It reports the outcomes of the most concerted investigation ever undertaken into both the influence shaping the changing nature of ageing and its consequences for individuals and society. This book concentrates on three major themes: active ageing, design for ageing well and the relationship between ageing and socio-economic development. Each chapter provides a state of the art topic summary as well as reporting the essential research findings from New Dynamics of Ageing research projects. There is a strong emphasis on the practical implications of ageing and how evidence-based policies, practices and new products can produce individual and societal benefits.

Tom Kirkwood CBE, Newcastle University Institute for Ageing "A fascinating and absorbing book which will be of immense value to both professionals and policy makers." Professor James Goodwin PhD, Chief Scientist, Age UK "The strength of 21st-century gerontology lies in its multi-disciplinary approach, evidenced in this book most profoundly.
