Handbook of Aging and the Social Sciences
Abstract
Physicians whose interests in health problems of the elderly extend beyond the clinical specialty of geriatrics and into the broader interdisciplinary aspects of social gerontology should greet this new handbook with choruses of praise. As a companion volume to the Handbook of the Biology of Aging and the Handbook of the Psychology of Aging (all recently published under the guidance of a single project-advisory board with James E. Birren as editor-in-chief), this is a work of singular breadth, depth, clarity, and incisiveness. One of its distinguishing features is an extensive bibliography of previous work in the field of aging, with excellent subject and author indexes. Thirty-two contributors from a variety of disciplines have assembled 25 chapters that, as stated in the preface, are designed as a compendium of what is now known about the social aspects of aging and of suggested central issues for further research.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
