In our younger years upcoming birthdays are anticipated with an excitement that somewhat diminishes as the years progress. As we grow older we are bombarded with advice on ways to overcome, thwart, resist, and, on the rare occasion, embrace, one''s ageing. Have all human beings from the various historical epochs and cultures viewed aging with this same ambivalence? In this Very Short Introduction Nancy A. Pachana discusses the lifelong dynamic changes in biological, psychological, and social functioning involved in ageing. Increased lifespans in the developed and the developing world have created an urgent need to find ways to enhance our functioning and well-being in the later decades of life, and this need is reflected in policies and action plans addressing our ageing populations from the World Health Organization and the United Nations. Looking to the future, Pachana considers advancements in the provision for our ageing populations, including revolutionary models of nursing home care such as Green House nursing homes in the USA and Small Group Living homes in the Netherlands. She shows that understanding the process of ageing is not only important for individuals, but also for societies and nations, if the full potential of those entering later life is to be realised.ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area.

Must ageing populations create conflict between generations and crisis for health systems? Our answer is no. The problem is not so much demographic change as the political and policy challenge of creating fair, sustainable and effective policies for people of all ages. This book, based on a large European Observatory study, uses new evidence to challenge some of the myths surrounding ageing and its effects on economies and health systems. Cataclysmic views of population ageing are often based on stereotypes and anecdotes unsupported by evidence. How we address ageing societies is a choice. Societies can choose policies that benefit people of all ages, promoting equity both within and between generations, and political coalitions can be built to support such policies.

There is an overwhelming sense of blame from younger generations: it was 'the wrinklies', the grey-haired plutocracy, who voted Leave; who are overburdening hospitals, shutting the youth out of the housing market and hoarding accumulated wealth.By 2020, we are told, one in five Britons will be pensioners, and living a longer retirement than ever before. 'A good thing', politicians add, through gritted teeth. The truth is that for them, 'the old' are a social, economic and political inconvenience.John Sutherland (age 78, and feeling keenly what he writes about) examines this intergenerational combat as a new kind of war in which institutional neglect and universal indifference to the old has reached aggressive, and routinely lethal, levels.

Discarding the tired discourse of the burdens of an aging planet, he offers instead a fundamental revisioning of what life could look like—of what our lives could look like—a new world that is hugely exciting, if we do it right.” — Claire Casey, global head of Policy \u0026amp; Insights, Economist Impact, The Economist Group  “Demography may be destiny, yet there are few prognosticators who can see the future like Bradley Schurman. The Super Age is a super-readable book, a crystal ball into a society like we’ve never seen before. This book will help you tap into the longevity dividend.” — Chip Conley, New York Times bestselling author and founder, the Modern Elder Academy  “The Super Age provides one of the most comprehensive understandings of the gift of longevity and the work we need to do as a society to maximize the ability for all to age well. This timely book provides leaders the data, insights, and tangible solutions needed to tap into the moral, economic, and societal benefits of truly embracing the Super Age. Leaders from every sector (public, private, and nonprofit) should read and share the book.” — Ramsey Alwin, president and CEO, National Council on Aging (NCOA)  “This book is an eye-opener to those already in, or those preparing to serve, older and generationally diverse markets. Schurman gives both an objective view of the existing landscape and a bright road map for future growth. Customers are changing at a rapid pace, and in many cases, they are becoming healthier and wealthier. Those who truly understand and embrace the Super Age will be the winners.” — Jee Eun “Geannie” Cho, CEO, CIGNA Korea  “Be prepared to have your conception of aging—and the power potential of the ‘gray’ generation—turned upside down . . . or in this case, right side up.” — Rebecca Frankel, New York Times bestselling author of War Dogs and Into the Forest  “The Super Age focuses on one of the biggest trends that will shape our individual and collective future. It also shows in a nuanced and insightful way why the pessimism around an aging society is too simplistic to capture the fundamental changes that are happening and need to happen.” — Andrew Scott, professor of economics, London Business School, and coauthor of The 100-Year Life  “We have entered a new Super Age—which will profoundly alter public policies, education, careers, communities, and commerce. For business leaders, it is especially imperative to understand this and to rethink products, services, and markets in the new world of longevity. This book is the road map.” — Bill Novelli, professor of business, Georgetown University; former CEO, AARP; and author of Good Business  “Powerful and provocative. . . . Bradley Schurman breaks through as a much-needed, compelling new demographic futurist—and just in the nick of time.” — Michael Adams, CEO, SAGE  “At a time when ageism is on full display, Bradley Schurman’s The Super Age is a much-needed counterpoint to the dominant and negative narrative. . . . An invaluable resource for any business interested in diversity, equity, and inclusion.” — Fabrice Houdart, managing director, Out Leadership  “Beautifully written and magically orchestrated by Bradley Schurman, The Super Age is like a symphony where all the chords, the tones, the nuances about our demographic past, present, and future come together.” — Nicola Palmarini, director, UK National Innovation Centre for Ageing (NICA), and author of Immortali  “The Super Age brilliantly explores the new economic, political, social, and cultural norms that are reshaping our world—and how we got here. . . . A must read for anyone who wants to truly understand how these demographic megatrends will impact us all.” — Jake Rothstein, founder, Papa and UpsideHoM  “Thoroughly researched and elegantly written. . . . An excellent narrative about what is indeed the Super Age.” — Jim Mellon, founder and executive chairman, Burnbrae Group, and coauthor of Juvenescence  “Schurman describes a megatrend that cannot be debated, nor ignored: the Super Age. It urges you to stop discussing and start acting. That probably makes it the best book on aging yet.” — Arjan in ’t Veld, cofounder and CMO, The Aging Group BV  “Bradley lays forth a vision for the Super Age that is inclusive of all people, regardless of age, race, gender, or sexuality, as key contributors and consumers.” — Patrick Church, multimedia artist and fashion designer  “Will population aging lead to stagnation and decline, or a new era of innovation and human flourishing? There are daunting challenges, to be sure, but Schurman’s book offers hope for a brighter future. It’s a must read and a must reference.” — Paul Irving, chairman, Milken Institute Center for the Future of Aging; distinguished scholar-in-residence, University of Southern California Leonard Davis School of Gerontology; and chairman, Encore.org  “Aging, like gender equality and climate change, is an essential lens for any community, business or policy leader with foresight. Schurman's book gives a comprehensive view of the latest research on the complexities, challenges and opportunities of creating an age inclusive society.”  — Cynthia Wu, executive director, Shin Kong Life Foundation   “Finally, a modern take on the perception of ageism, marginalization, and inequality for the rapidly evolving 50+ demographic. . . . Schurman shows us a path toward a hopeful future.” — Jeff Tidwell, founder and CEO, Next For Me  “Finally—everything you’ve ever wanted to know about age and longevity in one package, or rather under one cover! . . . The best part is the optimism about the future of longevity and opportunities it brings for the business environment and for society at large.”  — Stela Lupushor, chief reframer, Reframe.Work Inc.  “A comprehensive and fast-paced tour through the past, present and future of our rapidly Super Ageing Societies, written by one of the leading proponents in the space.”  — Stephen Johnston, co-founder, Aging2.0","brand":"HarperCollins Publishers Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48864121454935,"sku":"9780063048751","price":19.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}]},{"product_id":"from-strength-to-strength-9780593191484","title":"From Strength to Strength","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eINSTANT #1 \u003ci\u003eNEW YORK TIMES \u003c\/i\u003eBESTSELLER\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe roadmap for finding purpose, meaning, and success as we age, from bestselling author, Harvard professor, and the \u003ci\u003eAtlantic''s\u003c\/i\u003e happiness columnist Arthur Brooks.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMany of us assume that the more successful we are, the less susceptible we become to the sense of professional and social irrelevance that often accompanies aging.

Older adults often face mobility, cognitive, and resource challenges, which contribute to a disproportionate number of deaths in the face of major disasters. But some challenges are less visible. Consider the grandparent who no longer can stand and wait at the bus stop because of the heat, or the retiree who lives in a home with black mould due to chronic flooding that she can’t afford to remediate or leave because of her limited fixed income.   Our population is aging—by 2034, the US will have more people over 65 than under 18. Despite the evidence that climate change is severely impacting older adults, and the reality that communities will be confronted with more frequent and more severe disasters, we’re not prepared to address the needs of older adults and other vulnerable populations in the face of a changing climate.  In Climate Resilience for an Aging Nation, community resilience and housing expert Danielle Arigoni argues that we cannot achieve true resilience until communities adopt interventions that work to meet the needs of their oldest residents. She explains that when we plan for those most impacted by climate, and for those with the greatest obstacles to opportunity and well-being, we improve conditions for all.  Arigoni explores how to integrate age-friendly resilience into community planning and disaster preparedness efforts through new planning approaches—including an age-friendly process, and a planning framework dedicated to inclusive disaster recovery—to create communities that serve the needs of older adults better, not only during disasters but for all the days in between. Examples are woven throughout the book, including case studies of age-friendly resilience in action from New York State; Portland, Oregon and Multnomah County; and New Orleans.   Climate Resilience for an Aging Nation will help professionals and concerned citizens understand how to best plan for both the aging of our population and the climate changes underway so that we can create safer, more liveable communities for all.","brand":"Island Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48867928244567,"sku":"9781642832976","price":21.59,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}]},{"product_id":"spiritual-care-for-people-living-with-dementia-using-multisensory-interventions-a-practical-guide-for-chaplains-9781785928116","title":"Spiritual Care for People Living with Dementia","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis innovative and sensitive guide to providing spiritual care to people with dementia features original methods drawn from the author's experiences of working with over 1,000 individuals with dementia.

It also emphasises the power and the importance of humour when one is faced with a deadly disease. Lewy body dementia kills about 250,000 people a year in the United States. There is no cure.

What this book seeks to do is to provide an alternative exploration of ageing by introducing post-structuralist theory using two themes of ''narrative'' (stories of ageing) and ''trust'' (relations of ageing) -- both as exemplar social issues and conceptual tools. Indeed, we need to ask what are the conditions which allow narrative and trust to be formed and performed relating to ageing.
