Klappentext
Old Age, New Science explores how a group of American and British life scientists contributed to gerontology's development as a multidisciplinary field. It examines the foundational "biosocial visions" they shared, a byproduct of both their research and the social problems they encountered. Hyung Wook Park reveals how these visions shaped popular discourses on aging, directly influenced the institutionalization of gerontology, and reflected the class, gender, and race biases of their founders.
