If you wish to explore the nature and evolution of the faculty retirement landscape in America, this is the book for you. It will be an eye opener for many in the academy, but especially for those whose responsibilities include assistance to faculty members navigating the transition to retirement and the development of meaningful and productive lives post-retirement. As professoriate continues to become grayer, heightened sensitivities to retirement matters will become ever more important. This book will be of great assistance in mapping progressive approaches to change and reinforcement across the higher education landscape.
