Aging and diversity intersect in important ways, as individuals from different backgrounds experience aging through distinct lenses shaped by traditions, values, and beliefs. As the older population in the United States is becoming more diverse, it is important to understand the characteristics, the potential, and the needs of this population.

In this new and fully revised edition of Aging and Diversity, Lisa Wagner, Chandra Mehrotra, and Man Guo address key topics in diversity and aging, discussing how the aging experience is affected by not only race and ethnicity but also gender, religious affiliation, socioeconomic status, rural–urban community location, and sexual orientation and gender identity. Taking this broad view of human diversity allows the authors to convey some of the rich complexities facing aging populations—complexities that provide both challenges to meet the needs of a diverse population of elders and opportunities to learn how to live in a pluralistic society.

Wagner, Mehrotra, and Guo present up-to-date knowledge and scholarship about aging and diversity in a way that engages readers in active learning, placing ongoing emphasis on developing readers’ knowledge and skills, fostering higher order thinking, and encouraging exploration of personal values and attitudes.

This book presents a comprehensive study on the phenomenon of projection in English language, drawing upon Halliday’s systemic functional linguistics (SFL) model. It aims to clarify the grammatical status of projecting and projected clauses and explore their synchronic distribution features as well as diachronic evolution patterns.

This book provides insights into the understanding of the grammatical status of projection-related clauses. Furthermore, the uncovering of historical evolution trends contributes to the literature on grammatical metaphor in SFL. From a practical standpoint, the empirical investigations into the relationship between projection and text technicality provide important implications for English teaching pedagogy and discourse analysis.
