These contributions from noted anthropological scholars examine\u003cbr\u003eevolutionary and biological understandings of human aging, the roles of elders\u003cbr\u003ein various societies, issues of gender and ageism, and the role of chronic\u003cbr\u003eillness and \"successful aging\" among older adults.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis volume highlights how an anthropology of\u003cbr\u003eaging can illustrate how older adults adapt to shifting life circumstances and\u003cbr\u003eenvironments, including changes to the ways in which individuals and families\u003cbr\u003ecare for them.
