Are rural environments good places in which to grow old? This pioneering volume addresses this question in new and insightful ways. The contributors have produced a work that is 'fresh' and essential reading for scholars, practitioners and policy makers. Graham D. Rowles, Ph.D., Professor and Director, Graduate Center for Gerontology, University of Kentucky This volume brings together a distinguished group of researchers working in the field of rural gerontology and gives an excellent balance between theoretical perspectives and empirical findings. It challenges conventional stereotypes of rural ageing and provides important lessons for policy-makers and practitioners alike.
