The Authors invited to cooperate, very thoroughly, in a way perfectly embedded in the literature of the subject, reveal to the Reader areas, contexts, conditions and consequences of positive and negative aspects of old age functioning in social and media circulation.

The theoretical considerations supported by empirical research confirm the importance of the raised issues and their relevance". [edytuj opis]
