From the reviews:
“The book highlights numerous aspects of aging in China, bringing together a range of articles that focus on social/cultural issues, political factors, and the international impact of recent economic changes in China. … Most chapters have a brief summary at the beginning that helps readers in navigating through the main issues. … The intended audience includes those in either academia or government. … Researchers and grant writers would find it useful. … This interesting and informative book provides valuable new insights into aging.” (Peter A. Liu, Doody’s Review Service, April, 2012)
