The first wave of 76 million 'Baby Boomers,' representing 28 percent of the American population, turns 65 in 2011 and they will live longer than any previous generation in history - at least 15 years more than their parents! - creating an entirely new stage of human life.

This book introduces the technique of Regressive Meditation, which the author claims has the potential of being able to slow down the ageing process, without drugs, dietary supplements, or plastic surgery. After an account of how the brain clock controls ageing and how we in turn can influence that clock, Dr Forrest brings together his background in physiology and hypnotism to examine the practices of the rejuvenators and to understand any successes they may have had. It was this analysis that led him to develop Regressive Meditation.

This volume reflects the emergence of ageing as a global concern, including chapters by international scholars from Asia, Australasia, Europe and North America. It provides a comprehensive overview of key trends and issues in the field, drawing upon the full range of social science disciplines. The Handbook is organized into five parts, each exploring different aspects of research into social aspects of ageing: disciplinary overviews - summaries of findings from key disciplinary areas within social gerontology; social relationships and social differences - topics include: social inequality, gender and ageing, the role of religion, inter-generational ties, social networks, and friendships in later life; Individual characteristics and change in later life - chapters in this section examine different aspects of individual aging, including self and identity, cognitive processes, and biosocial interactions and their impact on physical and psychological aging; comparative perspectives and cultural innovations - topics in this section include: ageing and development, ageing in a global context, migration, and cross-cultural perspectives on grandparenthood; policy issues - the final section examines some of the main policy concerns affecting older people across the world. The topics include: developments in social policy, long-term care, technology and older people, end of life issues, work and retirement, crime and older people, and the politics of old age. This will be essential reading for all students, researchers and policy-makers concerned with the major issues influencing the lives of older people across the globe.

Quelles sont les représentations du corps vieux dans l'art contemporain ? Est-il possible d'imaginer que traiter du corps revient à traiter de peinture et inversement ? Peut-on réduire une œuvre picturale à un commentaire philosophique ? Quels sont les discours sur le vieillissement que déclinent les marques ? Le traitement du corps vieux dans la publicité introduit-il une rupture entre le visage et le reste du corps ? Le rêve reproduit-il fidèlement notre âge civil ? Comment l'appareil psychique intègre-t-il les transformations corporelles dues au vieillissement ? D'où vient cette pensée biologisante désireuse de faire comme si les sujets vieillissants avaient définitivement perdu leur qualité sexuée ? Trois textes ouvrent ce livre sur le vieillissement, le cinquième d'un cycle de la Fondation Eisai : Le corps vieux dans l'art contemporain par Danièle Bloch, Figures et visages de la vieillesse dans le marketing et la publicité par Benoît Heilbrunn, Image de soi et vieillissement par Gérard Le Gouès.
