Science, Technology and the Ageing Society
Ageing is widely recognised as one of the social and economic challenges in the contemporary, globalised world, for which scientific, technological and medical solutions are continuously sought. This book proposes that science and technology also played a crucial role in the creation and transformation of the ageing society itself. Drawing on existing work on science, technology and ageing in sociology, anthropology, history of science, geography and social gerontology, Science, Technology and the Ageing Society explores the complex, interweaving relationship between expertise, scientific and technological standards and social, normatively embedded age identities. Through a series of case st...
Gothic Romanticism
Gothic Romanticism: Wordsworth, Architecture, Politics, Form offers a revisionist account of both Wordsworth and the politics of antiquarianism in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries.

The second edition incorporates new materials that develop the argument in new directions opened up by changes in the field over the last decade. The book also provides a sustained reflection upon Romantic conservatism, including the political thought and lasting influence of Edmund Burke. New material places the book in wider and longer context of the political and historical forms seen developing in Wordsworth, and proposes Gothic Romanticism as the alternative line of cultural development to Victorian Medievalism.
Crossing Frontiers
This is the first book-length study of the history of gerontology. It shows how old age became a 'problem' worth investigating and how a mulitidisciplinary orientation took shape.
Ford Madox Ford and the Misfit Moderns
Ford Madox Ford is a major modernist writer, yet many of his works do not conform to our assumptions about modernism. Examining ways in which he, alongside other 'misfit moderns', undermines 'stabilities' we expect from novels and memoirs, this book poses questions about the nature of narrative and the distinction between modernism and modernity.
Decoding Longevity
Have you ever wondered why we age and if you could slow its progression? In DECODING LONGEVITY, aging expert Dr. Bryant Villeponteau offers a full spectrum biological and genetic review of the aging process in layman's language. He condenses a wealth of practical information for those interested in extending their health and longevity, including dietary, exercise, and supplement recommendations that could add decades to your healthspan. Dr. Villeponteau looks in detail at the last 20 years of aging research, and explores future developments, including the exponential increases in technology that will provide powerful tools for extending healthy longevity over the next 20 to 40 years.
