520    "This book focuses on the "biosocial visions" shared by 
       early gerontologists in American and British science and 
       culture from the early to mid-twentieth century who 
       believed the phenomenon of aging was not just biological, 
       but social in nature. Advancements in the life sciences, 
       together with shifting perspectives on the state and 
       future of the elderly in society, informed how 
       gerontologists interacted with seniors, and how they 
       defined successful aging. Park shows how these visions 
       shaped popular discourses on aging, directly influenced 
       the institutionalization of gerontology, and also 
       reflected the class, gender, and race biases of their 
       founders"--|cProvided by publisher. 
520    "Between 1870 and 1940, life expectancy in the United 
       States skyrocketed while the percentage of senior citizens
       age sixty-five and older more than doubled--a phenomenon 
       owed largely to innovations in medicine and public health.
       At the same time, the Great Depression was a major tipping
       point for age discrimination and poverty in the West: 
       seniors were living longer and retiring earlier, but 
       without adequate means to support themselves and their 
       families. The economic disaster of the 1930s alerted 
       scientists, who were actively researching the processes of
       aging, to the profound social implications of their work--
       and by the end of the 1950s, the field of gerontology 
       emerged. Old Age, New Science explores how a group of 
       American and British life scientists contributed to 
       gerontology's development as a multidisciplinary field. It
       examines the foundational "biosocial visions" they shared,
       a byproduct of both their research and the social problems
       they encountered. Hyung Wook Park shows how these visions 
       shaped popular discourses on aging, directly influenced 
       the institutionalization of gerontology, and also 
       reflected the class, gender, and race biases of their 
       founders"--|cProvided by publisher.
