内容説明

In this volume, leading contributors from both gerontology and leisure studies discuss the importance of various kinds of activity to health, social integration and the quality of later life. Each chapter discusses the history of research and theory on a specific issue, current formulations and some implications for the future. The volume addresses such issues as productivity, social bonding, persistence in exercise and specific activities in retirement communities and senior programmes.
