�ber diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe:

Gerontology did not emerge as a scientific field of inquiry in the United States until the twentieth century. By tracing intellectual networks and analyzing institutional patterns, Crossing Frontiers shows how old age became a 'problem' worth investigating and how a multidisciplinary orientation took shape.

Cr�ticas:

"...[a] perceptive, beautifully written and superbly organized history of American gerontology..." London Review of Books

"Heavily footnoted, well researched, and scholarly, this book is the first to trace the history of gerentology from its roots in 19th-century physiology to today's highly competitive research centers." Library Journal

"Crossing Frontiers is an excellent, thorough, and richly documented history of gerontology." American Journal of Sociology

"I recommend Crossing Frontiers as worthwhile reading for anyone interested in gerontology today....any physician interested in the broader issues of aging will benefit from reading this book." David H. Solomon, MD, JAMA

"Crossing Fronteirs...presents a cognent history of gerontology as a scientific field; it offers a prescription for the future..." Journal of American History
