Discusses the varied ways in which people experience their later years. It stresses the varieties, but considers the distinct and assorted identities that people develop as they age under different circumstances. The areas discussed are persistence, adaptation and change. The book uses qualitative research and social constructionist viewpoints to explain that aging should be viewed as a social process in which some people create fulfilling last years while others do not.
