Recent years have seen a growing interest in the questions of ethics and aging. Advances in medical technology have created dilemmas for physicians, nurses, and other health care professionals over such questions as the allocation of resources and a patient's "right to die." At the same time, the aging of the American population raises concerns about social policies that involve the role of government. In Ethics in an Aging Society Harry R. Moody examines both the clinical and the policy issues that center around aging. Moody pays special attention to the ethical problems associated with two particularly timely concerns-Alzheimer's disease and the increasingly controversial issue of "rational suicide" for reasons of age. He also focuses on the rights of patients in long-term care and on the question of justice between generations (Are older patients using more than their "fair share" of scarce health care dollars?). "These ethical questions," Moody emphasizes, "are not abstract ones. They arise in the specific historical and political context of America in the closing decade of the twentieth century...This book can best be understood as a meditation on two compelling liberal ideas-autonomy and justice-that have inspired our thinking about ethics and the aging society.The story which unfolds in the book is a story both about the power of those ideals and also about inescapable facts of old age that make those ideals problematic." - Häftad, Engelska, 2024

Climate Change in an Aging Society is the first book fully devoted to the impact of climate change on those who are old today—and those who will be old in decades to come. In doing so, Moody focuses on issues of critical importance: aging in place; health and age in a warming world; responsibility for the climate crisis; options for climate-conscious consumers; planning for investment for a green retirement; and opportunities for political action.The number of Americans aged over 65 is projected to rise from 17% to 21%. By 2060 nearly one in four Americans will be 65 or older. By 2050, however, average temperatures in the USA could rise by as much as 3°C, and extreme weather events are likely to become more frequent and severe. Despite these alarming projections and the likelihood that climate change will cause serious health issues among the elderly, little attention has been devoted to the impact of climate change on this demographic. Employing a life-course perspective and a cross-generational approach, Moody assesses the impact of climate change on those who are old today and those who will be old in years to come. Challenging both climate complacency and climate defeatism, the book adopts as its clarion call, HERE NOW YOU HOPE.Written in an engaging personal style with highlighting case studies of influential "eco-elders," this urgent book will be of great interest to students and scholars with interests in climate change, gerontology, and environmental and social policy. - Inbunden, Engelska, 2024

Winner of the 2022 Textbook & Academic Authors Association′s The McGuffey Longevity Award Aging: Concepts and Controversies is structured to encourage a style of teaching and learning that goes beyond conveying facts and methods.

Drawing on their extensive expertise, authors Harry R. Moody and Jennifer R. Sasser first provide an overview of aging in three domains: aging over the life course, health care, and socioeconomic trends. Each section then includes data and conceptual frameworks, helping students to make sense of the controversies and understand their origin, engage in critical thinking, and develop their own views. The Tenth Edition of this hallmark textbook includes amplified discussions focused on differences, diversity, structural inequalities, and inclusion, as well as contemporary issues, including climate change and immigration.Included with this title:
The password-protected Instructor Resource Site (formally known as SAGE Edge) offers access to all text-specific resources, including a test bank and editable, chapter-specific PowerPoint® slides. - Häftad, Engelska, 2025

Using dreams as a compass for meaning in later life• Explains how dreams are a source of guidance during key stages of aging, including midlife transition, retirement, illness, grief, and life review• Shows how to work with dreams using accessible tools and practices, such as journaling, active imagination, and symbolic reflection• Offers an approach to growth in the second half of life, drawing on research in gerontology, depth psychology, and spiritual traditionsDrawing on more than fifty years of research, teaching, and personal dreamwork, Harry R. Moody reveals how dreams can support psychological development and spiritual insight after midlife. Unlike the early phases of life, the second half often unfolds without clear direction. Moody shows how dreams can offer an inner roadmap for navigating aging, identity, and mortality.With case studies, Moody details how dreams reflect the key stages of aging. He explores midlife transitions, late-life depression, illness and caregiving, and the inner work of grief, forgiveness, and life review. Presenting a range of dream types, including recurring dreams, nightmares, and symbolic dreams, Moody explains their relevance to healing and self-understanding.The author introduces tools for recalling and reflecting on dreams and gives guidance on how to approach them with attention rather than analysis. He draws from depth psychology, literature, and spiritual traditions to show how dreams can reveal unacknowledged emotions, inspire creative work, and help reconnect us with forgotten or repressed parts of the self. Over time, you will learn how to access the unconscious dimensions of your aging process and identify where change may be needed.This book offers a practical framework for engaging with the unconscious during the transitions of growing older. By treating dreams as a form of guidance, you can uncover unfinished emotional work, strengthen your sense of purpose, and reclaim the imagination as a vital force for personal transformation.
