I mean, it's a textbook. Dry, but informative!

I have taught from this textbook four times. I've written hundreds of quiz questions about the 15 chapters. Well, I have stopped asking my students to read the last chapter on "Politics, Policies, and Programs" because there are too many changes. But this book provides a solid overview to many issues in aging: economic, social, financial, physical, and sociological.

I really liked this book as I used it to study for my BVU class. I plan on keeping it for future reference.

A clear and nicely written textbook. Very informative.

(sorry, I'm in the middle of finals, so I'm a bit too tired to write anything else)
