Handbook on Ageing with Disability

'The Handbook on Ageing with Disability is a long-awaited gem of information, research and insights into an area growing in importance but too long ignored. The co-authors are pioneers in this field and they have brought together an impressive international caste of experts. The myriad dimensions and the nuances of aging with a disability, whether intellectual, cognitive, physical, visual, or chronic - are brought together in a masterful collection of prescient chapters. This Handbook is destined to be the "bible" for all of us aging into and with various forms of limitations and disabilities and seeking the latest analysis, data, trends and understanding of this complex yet personal concern.'

Fernando M. Torres-Gil, UCLA Professor of Social Welfare and Public Policy

'This Handbook fills a major gap in the knowledge base required to bridge the fields of aging with disability, certainly one of the major challenges for humankind in the XXI Century. The range of topics covered and populations discussed demonstrates the heterogeneity of the aging with disability population and the need for greater attention to common issues in these two areas of research, support and care. This book brilliantly culminates the extensive work the editors have led on this topic over the last 20 years.'
