Questions surrounding adaptation to aging and how adaptation can best be achieved have been of central concern in gerontology. Beyond Gender Differences: Adaptation to Aging in Life Course Perspective shows the need to move beyond a focus on gender differences, toward a life course perspective on adaptation to aging. Substantive chapters examine adaptation to aging as a broad and cumulative process (Chapter 3) and the two life events that have been thought to pose the greatest challenges to adaptation in older age: The death of a spouse (Chapter 4) and retirement (Chapter 5).
