This fascinating new collection of research on the elderly works to put a human face on aging by considering multiple dimensions of the aging experience in Japan. Faces of Aging foregrounds a spectrum of eldercentered issuessocial activity, caregiving, generational bias, suicide, sexuality, and communication with medical professionals, to name a fewfrom the perspective of those who are living them.
