What is the future of old age? How will families, services, and economies adapt to an older population? Such questions often provoke extreme and opposing answers: some see ageing populations as having the potential to undermine economic growth and prosperity; others see new and exciting ways of living in old age. The Futures of Old Age places these questions in the context of social and political change, and assesses what the various futures of old age might be.

How are individuals and society ageing towards the end of the twentieth century? How can different disciplines help us to understand the ageing process? What are the key developments in postmodern thought and critical studies in relation to ageing and later life?
BSG Books
The changing demographic profiles of modern societies have led to a growing interest in understanding ageing and later life among those working within the social sciences and humanities.

Social psychology is the study of how normal people think, feel and behave as influenced by (real or imagined) others. This collection picks up from Michael Hogg's influential set, Social Psychology, published in 2002 to set out and explain the several changes the field has gone through since the mid-nineties. Social psychology now places more emphasis on studying the brain, cognitive-to-bodily effects, and goal pursuit. Classic topics such as prejudice, motivation, emotion, and interpersonal relationships are prominent still as this collection also illustrates.
