 Interesting September 28, 2008
Roberta Hotard (New Tampa, Florida)
My middle daughter just started college and discovered the Gerentology class is very interesting to her. This book she says is amazing. She told me this is far the best out of all her classes. Atleast she loves college thats the main thing right now but since she is only a freshman that can change. She has decided to major in Gerentology.

Book has lots of information. Shows different conclusions when results of studies are dissimilar. Lots of references. Used as text for a class. Well organized.
Good book, interesting stats... September 17, 2007

I am only a few chapters into this book so far, but it seems to be a good read. I have already learned several new things about aging and look forward to my continued reading. My only complaint so far is that while interesting, I think that there are too many statistics. This kind of takes away the importance of some of the more pertinent facts and would be far too many to memorize.
College level geriatrics book February 28, 2007

This book is simple to read and it covers all topics related with aging and geriatrics. I think this is a good source, but last semester I used one by John Cavanaugh and I considered that one a level higher than thisone. I mean this is a general topic book. I bouth it for my Social Work with the Elderly college class, and I don't really consider it too deep in the topic of social Work, but more a generalized information book.
