{"product_id":"aging-across-cultures-helaine-selin-9783030765033","title":"Aging Across Cultures: Growing Old in the Non-Western World","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis volume brings together chapters about aging in many non-Western cultures, from Africa and Asia to South America, from American Indians to Australian and Hawaii Aboriginals. It also includes articles on other issues of aging, such as falling, dementia, and elder abuse.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIt was thought that in Africa or Asia, elders were revered and taken care of. This certainly used to be the case. But the Western way has moved into these places, and we now find that elders are often left on their own or in institutions, as younger people have migrated to other cities and even countries. Grandparents often find themselves being parents to their grandchildren, a far cry from the kind of life they believed they would have as they aged. This book will explore all these issues and will be of use to students and researchers in this relatively new field.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Helaine Selin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3030765032\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783030765033\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Springer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/27\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 414\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.33lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.88d","brand":"Helaine Selin","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44149127807231,"sku":"9783030765033","price":159.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_376e6cd7-621f-4647-bfb8-a17e87a986fe.jpg?v=1688454980","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/aging-across-cultures-helaine-selin-9783030765033","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
