Becoming and Being Old is written by Bill Bytheway and published by SAGE. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 1446223450 (ISBN 10) and 9781446223451 (ISBN 13).
In this volume contributors examine the assumptions normally made about the elderly and offer differing sociological perspectives on becoming and being old, and on the concept of age itself. Instead of seeing the elderly in terms of needs, they offer alternative analyses in light of class, gender and race. Examining the life-cycle perspective on old age, they show how retirement from the workforce is only one aspect of becoming old, and arguably one which is important for only a minority of the ageing population.
