{"product_id":"becoming-and-being-old-bill-bytheway-9780803981713","title":"Becoming and Being Old: Sociological Approaches to Later Life","description":"In this volume contributors examine the assumptions normally made about the elderly and offer differing sociological perspectives on becoming and being old, and on the concept of age itself. Instead of seeing the elderly in terms of needs, they offer alternative analyses in light of class, gender and race. Examining the life-cycle perspective on old age, they show how retirement from the workforce is only one aspect of becoming old, and arguably one which is important for only a minority of the ageing population.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bill Bytheway\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0803981716\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780803981713\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Sage Publications UK\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/01\/1990\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.51lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.41d","brand":"Bill Bytheway","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48448966787327,"sku":"9780803981713","price":80.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a15b8e71-30aa-4902-90d9-7245fa5d7040.jpg?v=1777261379","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/becoming-and-being-old-bill-bytheway-9780803981713","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
