Handbook of Aging and the Social Sciences
Abstract
All of those interested in the problems of aging will welcome the appearance of the second edition of the seriesThe Handbooks of Aging. The other two books in the series cover the biology and psychology of aging. This handbook is specifically designed to complement, but not to duplicate, the work of the first edition. It offers a treasure trove of information about the elderly and a vivid demonstration of what the social sciences can offer to our understanding of aging. Carefully crafted and well designed, it serves as an invaluable reference. Each of the chapters is well documented and provides ready access to the literature on the subject covered. It is assuredly not a book to be read at a single sitting or even from cover to cover. Because its primary value is as a reference, it is disappointing to note that the index is not well constructed for

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.
