Beginning with a continental viewpoint on demography, the book proceeds to deal with seven specific topics by means of a nation-to-nation analysis. Topics include social policy, long-term care, the chronic mentally ill, rural aging, aging veterans, native elders, and cross-national and intergenerational families. The last three topics are seldom addressed in books on aging; they are a vital new contribution to gerontological knowledge in both the U.S. and Canada.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Eloise Rathbone-McCuan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0313254842\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780313254840\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Praeger\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/20\/1988\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.38lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.75d","brand":"Eloise Rathbone-McCuan","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47579577417983,"sku":"9780313254840","price":95.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0b8f7c17-f7c5-4f16-bbe0-ad281a62c762.jpg?v=1763875163","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/north-american-elders-eloise-rathbone-mccuan-9780313254840","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
