The two volumes of The New Dynamics of Ageing provide a comprehensive, interdisciplinary overview of the latest research on aging. Providing crucial insights into aging and its impact—on an individual, national, and global scale—these volumes are an indispensable reference for researchers, policy makers, and students.Volume 2 delves into autonomy and independence in later life, biology and aging, food and nutrition, and representations of old age
