Author: David Jackson
Publisher: Palgrave Macmillan
Category: Illness & Addiction: Social Aspects, Gender Studies: Men, Age Groups: The Elderly, Sociology, Sociology: Family & Relationships
Book Format: Paperback

This book explores the lived, embodied experiences of aging men as a counterpoint to the weary stereotypes often imposed on them. Conventionally, in Western cultures, they are seen as inevitably in decline. The book challenges these distorted images through a detailed analysis of aging men's life stories.
