The second edition of Erber's popular Aging and Older Adulthood reflects the most up-to-date scientific research and theoretical foundations that contribute to our understanding of the aging process and older adulthood. Erber organizes the book around complementary 'big point-of-view' theories that focus on successful aging and adaptation, such as selective optimization with compensation model as well as matching a person's competencies with demands of the environment (the ecological model). To ensure that students acquire a cohesive understanding of the theories, Erber closes each chapter with a discussion and application of these theoretical models. Integrated with examples of diversity andfilled with real-world applications, this engaging text offers the most updated insights and theoretical underpinnings related to our understanding of the human aging process.
