Materialities of Age and Ageing: Concepts of a Material Gerontology
In gerontological research the understanding of age and ageing changed in the last decade. Biologic determined explanations no longer prevail in this research field.

In doing so, Overcoming Exploitation and Externalisation argues that co-operative possibilities can emerge for the transformation of ourselves and our society. It will therefore appeal to scholars and students of social and political theory with interests in the commons and alternatives to capitalism.

The unlikely relationship of these varied folk to modern awareness is evoked in brief, hard-hitting poems that must produce, in readers young and mature, an irreverent chuckle.
