Anotace:	Reconstructing Old Age is a timely and authoritative contribution to current debates in social gerontology and social theory. Chris Phillipson outlines the changing contexts and experiences associated with later life as we move into a new century, and reviews the different theoretical explanations attempting to define these changes. Phillipson argues that in late modernity changes to pensions, employment and retirement, and intergenerational relations, are placing doubt on the meaning and purpose of growing old. Later life is being reconstructed as a period of potential choice, but also one of risk and danger.This book will be essential reading for students and academics in social gerontology, as well as for students and academics in sociology, social policy and related disciplines interested in the future of an ageing population and the future of social gerontology.
