""Regardless of a country’s stage of development, the authors have provided a blueprint for active aging policy-making that all countries can use. In offering this blueprint, they have essentially broadened the definition of active aging by examining and challenging how aging is viewed and assessed around the world, specifically throughout East Asia. A significant, much-needed addition to the literature and discourse on aging that has been long overdue. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates and above."" - A.L. Lewis, University of Arkansas Monticello, in CHOICE, September 2015
