Reviews
The Handbook on the Aged is a fascinating and useful compilation of data. As a current source, it will be useful on reference shelves; however, those who want an overview of a topic may wish to read entire chapters. As a systematic effort to present details on segments of the elderly population, it effectively refutes the view that all old people are much the same.-Reference Books Bulletin
