Review

'Westwood and Knauer have curated a comprehensive and authoritative collection that moves beyond the traditional and limiting conceptualisation of 'elder law' to examine the convergence, for older people, of law and society in contexts such as human rights, ageism, gender discrimination, intersectionality, care, technology and transnational ageing. An invaluable resource.' -- Mark Hughes, Southern Cross University, Australia'The connections between law, ageing and society are becoming more and more important as the world ages. This Research Handbook is a state of the art collection that advances our understanding of the complexities that are involved in the most obvious arenas as well as takes us into emerging areas where clarification and illumination are now sorely needed. I would recommend this volume as a great starting point and a tremendous resource for all those working in the field.' -- Paul Higgs, University College London, UK'This important and timely book examines a range of issues at the intersection of law, society and ageing. The variety of methodological approaches, geographical locations, and legal frameworks- from health and social care, to work and pensions, criminal justice, and legal services- offers vital in-depth engagement with this area of law.' -- Beverley Clough, Manchester University, UK'This Handbook inspires you to research, debate, critically evaluate, challenge and work to improve the ageing experience within society and the legal context. Drawing upon an impressive range of evidence and testimonials, and the work of eminent scholars in their respective fields from across the globe, this book is an invaluable resource for students, researchers and legislators.' -- Maria Evandrou, University of Southampton, UK
