Changing Horizons in the 21st Century
The twenty-first century presents a changing global demographic. People are living longer and older people comprise a continued greater representation in populations. This book provides detailed insights into ageing issues related to longitudinal studies, legislation, policy, and the ageing experience (including a personal reflection on ageing), as well as ageing and the environment, intergenerational relations, ageivism and age representations in media. Consequently, the reader will benefit from a more complete, holistic understanding of ageing which will enhance their interactions with older people. The contributors here are globally recognised experts in diverse areas within ageing research, scholarship and practice. The volume is, therefore, unique and not limited to health and social care professionals, but also provides insights into the diversity of the context and experience of ageing. The content is also of interest to those studying social gerontology, urban planning, and sociology, as well as legal professionals and policy makers.

La ville inclusive
La ville inclusive : dans les pas de Caroline Andrew is a festschrift in honour of this researcher's exceptional contributions, which follow a common thread—the inclusive city. Her interests extended from population studies to politics, with an emphasis on municipal governance, particularly through her interest in the influence of various “equity-seeking groups,” an expression she coined. In this volume, specialists in urban studies offer their own opinions on contemporary urbanity in the wake of her trailblazing research. It includes thorough analyses of inclusion policy issues Canadian cities face daily, unpublished case studies, and useful observations and proposals for decision making at the city level. La ville inclusive is one of those rare French-language books that tackles the issue of inclusion. It acts as a multidisciplinary meeting place in which to discuss the over-riding challenge of togetherness in a world that is increasingly urbanized and fragmented.
Ecrire, lire et apprendre dans la vie adulte
Alors que, pendant longtemps, écriture et lecture ont été associées à des activités scolaires, les recherches sur les pratiques sociales de l’écrit montrent que ces pratiques soutiennent souvent l’apprentissage expérientiel, l’apprentissage dans la vie de tous les jours ou l’apprentissage informel, qu’il soit fait au travail ou ailleurs. Compte tenu de l’importance accordée, dans la perspective contemporaine à l’apprentissage tout au long de la vie, à l’apprentissage réalisé à l’âge adulte et à la reconnaissance des acquis et des compétences développées en dehors de programmes scolaires, il parait fructueux de retracer la présence de l’écrit dans la v...
Promoting the Health of Older Adults
Taking a unique look at health promotion and aging in Canada, this edited collection uses the action framework in the Ottawa Charter for Health Promotion to explore the factors and issues related to the health of older adults.
