The human race is living longer, and being an elder isn't what it used to be. Editor Sylvia Engdahl has collected an intriguing array of essays that debate issues related to the elderly. Debates include whether negative stereotypes about the elderly are formed in early childhood, whether elderly people are unhappy, the impact of isolation on the elderly, and whether the elderly are receiving adequate care. Disparate viewpoints are encapsulated with the use of a question-and-response format. Students are encouraged to weigh the merits of divergent opinions, so that they may understand the subject inclusively.
