Crossing Frontiers: Gerontology Emerges as a Science
Achenbaum, W. Andrew (Institute of Gerontology, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor)
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.
