Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The New Senior Man: Exploring New Horizons, New Opportunities fills a gap that is already huge –and growing. Where do men fit into the astonishing changes in both life expectancy and visibility of the aging boomers among us? Unlike women, who move into retirement years with a network of friends and intimates cultivated over decades, men, for the most part, do it alone. Changes in women’s lives and in the culture have brought changes for men who were told to “man up” since they were toddlers. Having faced that challenge throughout their lives, it’s time now to do it again: to see changes in the world around them as opportunities, to discover new strengths and passions, to make the most of the gift of time. With perhaps a third of productive life ahead, retirement requires redefinition. Where are the role models among the men who, at this critical turning point in their lives, continue to redefine and reinvent their lives past the time of the proverbial gold watch and a set of golf clubs? As pioneers in this rapidly emerging new world, the men whose narratives appear in this book are role models for each other and those who follow. They seek more than advice about investments and improving their golf strokes. Men from all walks of life tell us, in their own words, how they see the challenges and chances that lie ahead and within themselves, and how they are taking full advantage of opportunities that re-start living. Each chapter presents a topic relevant to this later stage of life: memory, family dynamics, sexual intimacy, loss, and independence, among others. Like a conversation among friends, the book introduces readers to new ways of looking at the present and the future, so that men may cultivate a lifestyle that not only suits them, but supports a healthy, rewarding, and enjoyable reframing of life.

Download or read book Gray Agendas written by Henry J. Pratt and published by University of Michigan Press. This book was released on 1993 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gray Agendas presents a groundbreaking, cross-national study into the complex and interdependent relationship between public policy and the interest groups of the aged. Canada, Britain, and the United States are examined and compared. This book provides a unique, in-depth understanding of how public policies have sparked the creation of organized senior citizen groups, which in turn, through their intensified political clout, have been able to shape subsequent public policy. The book begins with a historical perspective on the state's role in the lives of the aged and the indirect consequences of various policies on the elderly population, including most specifically, age group mobilization. Later, consideration is given to widespread economic, social, and ideological changes in age policy, and the effect that new interest group formation had and continues to have upon these changes. The final chapters are concerned with current issues surrounding the present density of organized age based activity, and the effects of transformed state policy on the future of interest groups for the aged. The unique topic of Gray Agendas will prove interesting not only to those interested in the fields of sociology, history, and political science, but also will help fill the gap of scholarly information on issues concerning the elderly's organizations, proving invaluable to those interested in social gerontology and related areas of study.
Download or read book Canada s Fighting Seniors written by C. G. Gifford and published by James Lorimer & Company. This book was released on 1990-01-01 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1990, this book charts the emergence and rapid growth of Canada's powerful seniors' movement. Seniors' political clout has been increasingly evident since the mid-eighties, when their protest convinced Brian Mulroney to drop his efforts to limit pension benefits. Gifford's book provides a short history of seniors' organizing and tells the personal and organizational stories of today's seniors' groups. Sections on the work of seniors' groups in the United States and Europe add a global dimension to the book's analysis. Canada's Fighting Seniors is a pioneering study of the increasing organization and influence of older citizens in this country.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book puts forward an original proposal of a tri-dimensional structure for gerontology programs embedded in the aims and challenges of public policy towards old age and the elderly. The new architecture of those programs fills in the space between the political promises of the power elites and the social expectations and actual capacities of the state managing the needs of a society characterized by an aging demographic structure.

Download or read book Into the House of Old written by Megan Jean Davies and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2003 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Into the House of Old is a remarkable dissection of the societal structures created in the last century to take care of the elderly. Using social and architectural theory, Megan Davies recreates institutional life as it evolved from the 1890s to the 1960s in response to the changing perceptions of the elderly - and particularly the elderly poor - by society, government, and a new group of professional social workers and health care providers. Into the House of Old provides a context for understanding the old age home, an institution that continues to reflect both the concern and ambivalence that North American society feels towards its eldest citizens."--BOOK JACKET.
