better world books

The book was in great condition! I chose expedited shipping but it still took me a week to get the book! When I finally got it I saw why :( Anyway apart from the shipping misleading, I would still purchase from these. Just don't bother paying expedited!

Best aging text around

I teach a course in the Sociology of Aging and this edition of the text is even better than the last edition. Quadagno covers all the important topics - caring for the frail elderly, retirement, income in later life, health and health care and death and dying. The book is quite attractive and the writing is clear and interesting. My students always love it. No text provides better coverage of all the issues salient to my course. Love it.
