This book has LOTS of errors in it and requires proofreading. It is very difficult to take the reading as a source of "authority" on the subject when it appears the author(s) lack a basic understanding on how to even write a sentence without multiple spelling, punctuation and grammar errors. For some reason, once I lose that basic respect for an author, the degree of creditability I afford the author somehow decreases accordingly!

This is a great book for offering information on all things gerontology for social work. It provides some interesting physiological info on things like cataracts, alzheimer's disease, and dementia that are essential for all social workers to know. I highly recommend purchasing this book!
