Health and socio-economic status over the life course
Health in later life is shaped by behavior and policies over the life course and reflects the differences between the societies in which we are ageing. This multidisciplinary book answers questions from all life course phases and its interconnections from a European perspective based on the most recent SHARE data, such as: How is our health related to personality traits and influenced by our childhood conditions and careers? Which role does our social network play? Which impacts of the different health care and societal regimes can we trace at older ages? Which are the differences and similarities across European countries?

This approach is applied to Switzerland, a society mixing modern and traditional elements.

Jay Jax
Jay Jax, Mike Morris, and Anthony Mattola were three friends of the Great War. Jay was from New Jersey. Mike was from San Francisco. Tony was an Opera singer from Milan, Italy. After the war, each went their separate ways. Jay became a Woodbridge, New Jersey, cop. Mike was a cop in San Francisco, and Tony went back to the opera. Eighteen years later, all three lives become intertwined. Jay moved to San Francisco after Mike offered him a job on the San Francisco Police Department. In 1932, Jay was seriously wounded during a shootout with a Canadian bootlegger. After a year convalescing, he became a Private Investigator. In June 1936, he was a witness to a suicide. Or was it? It will take Jay on a 3,956-mile train trip to find the answer.
