Riassunto

This is the first book-length study of the history of gerontology. It shows how old age became a 'problem' worth investigating and how a mulitidisciplinary orientation took shape.

Recensione

"Crossing Frontiers is an excellent, thorough, and richly documented history of gerontology." American Journal of Sociology

"I recommend Crossing Frontiers as worthwhile reading for anyone interested in gerontology today....any physician interested in the broader issues of aging will benefit from reading this book." David H. Solomon, MD, JAMA
