A brilliant contribution to an increasingly emergent interest in later life sexuality. Contributors dispel myths and stereotypes which have plagued both our awareness and understanding of the subject. This will be the seminal work for years to come. Mervyn Eastman, ChangeAGEnts Co-operative This book provides a significant contribution to an area often overlooked in practice, policy and research. Contributors provide a timely and important reminder that sexuality is a core part of who we are, no matter our age.
