This volume is a welcome contribution to the understanding of the aging and the aged body in the field of social gerontology. In contrast to overly abstract and, ironically, disembodied treatments of the body current in the academy today, essays in this collection ground theory and interpretation in original and intriguing empirical research. The result is a lively collection addressing cultural representations, lived experience, and social practices of those inhabiting an older body.--Furman, Frida Kerner
