The Gerontological Imagination: An Integrative Paradigm of Aging
Ferraro, Kenneth F. (Distinguished Profressor and Interim Head of Sociology; Director, Center on Aging and the Life Course, Distinguished Profressor and Interim Head of Sociology; Director, Center on Aging and the Life Course, Purdue University)
The Gerontological Imagination provides an integrative paradigm of aging that makes it the first book to identify intellectual common ground among scholars studying aging. Ferraro identifies an underlying set of principles that constitute a paradigm for the study of aging: causality, life course analysis, multifaceted change, heterogeneity, accumulation processes, and ageism.
