But beyond statistics and implications for the future, we do not know much about the actual aging process. Senior citizens and their varied experiences have, for the most part, been obscured by stereotypes. This fascinating new collection of research on the elderly works to put a human face on aging by considering multiple dimensions of the aging experience in Japan. \u003ci\u003eFaces of Aging\u003c\/i\u003e foregrounds a spectrum of elder-centered issues--social activity, caregiving, generational bias, suicide, sexuality, and communication with medical professionals, to name a few--from the perspective of those who are living them. The volume's diverse contributors represent the fields of sociology, anthropology, medicine, nursing, gerontology, psychology, film studies, gender studies, communication, and linguistics, offering a diverse selection of qualitative studies of aging to researchers across the social sciences.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Yoshiko Matsumoto\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0804771499\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780804771498\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Stanford University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/17\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.88lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.70d","brand":"Yoshiko Matsumoto","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44059763605759,"sku":"9780804771498","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_145ded31-70cf-430c-a1dd-0291f566b4c3.jpg?v=1685060190","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/faces-of-aging-yoshiko-matsumoto-9780804771498","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
