Prize: Winner of a Choice Outstanding Academic Title Award for 2014 'The editors and contributors deserve appreciation for undertaking this challenging comparative project. A significant multidisciplinary contribution to the literature on aging, religion/ritual, comparative oral history, and social change. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates and above.' Choice 'The stories that have emerged from this endeavour are compelling - the more so since the individuals in question are allowed to speak for themselves. This is one reason why I am delighted to commend this important piece of research to the widest possible range of readers. There are many others.' Grace Davie, University of Exeter, UK 'Concern over an ageing society will be a primary issue driving social policy around the world in the next few decades. This impressive volume examines the impact of social and specifically religious change on the experience of ageing in two very different areas of Europe, and should be required reading for every interested policy maker and researcher.' Vern L. Bengtson, University of Southern California, USA 'This book offers a valuable contribution to researchers in gerontology, the sociology of religion, and to the wider social sciences more generally... a fascinating book, with a depth of scholarship and a genuine commitment to the research process and the stories of elderly people living out their lives, their faith and their values in the context of social change.' Ageing and Society 'This volume is a compelling and authoritative contribution to the literature that seeks to understand our quest for meaning in later life. The twelve essays, carefully organised and edited, make a significant contribution to our understanding of the nature of ageing in human society and within two different areas of Europe.'

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
This eBook uses Adobe-DRM, a „hard” copy protection. If the necessary requirements are not met, unfortunately you will not be able to open the eBook. You will therefore need to prepare your reading hardware before downloading.
