`The editors have succeeded in producing a book which, despite its global dimension, is immediately relevant to those working within their own national and local context. I strongly recommend it.' The Lancet
'It is difficult in a short review to do justice to the breadth and depth of this excellent book. All of us already involved in planning future services for the elderly should read the book, and I will be recommending it, as an invigorating introduction, to those embarking on a career in care of the elderly.' International Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry
'Excellent book...in this one volume are embraced the leading edges of medical and social georntology,seen from an international perspective...I will be recommending it, as an invigorating itrodution, to those embarking on a career in care of the elderly.' International Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry
'The volume is an unusually substantial and impressive product of the activities of the WHO global programme for health care of the elderly. It will make a great contribution to the improvement of this care in many regions of the world and should be available in all medical schools and university departments of psychology and sociology.' Journal of Ageing and Society
'the book stands as a coherent whole, thought undoubtedly its use will be more as a reference work for students and researchers ... This book is well deserving of a place on library shelves.'
