An Introduction to Gerontology provides a wide-ranging introduction to this important topic. By assuming no prior expert knowledge and avoiding jargon, this book will guide students through all the main subjects in gerontology, covering both traditional areas, such as biological and social ageing, and more contemporary areas, such as technology, the arts and sexuality. An Introduction to Gerontology is written by a team of international authors with multidisciplinary backgrounds who draw evidence from a variety of different perspectives and traditions.

Rapid developments in information technology and the provision of information, coupled with organizational developments and the widespread adoption of evidence-based practice have ensured constant change for a number of years.

'Governance' of het deugdelijk bestuur van organisaties, kan sinds het einde van de jaren 1970 op heel wat belangstelling rekenen. Waar dit in eerste instantie slechts het geval was in de profitsector, maakte de laatste jaren ook de non-profit en de publieke sector de 'governance'-sprong. Dit boek rapporteert over een onderzoek dat op het Steunpunt Welzijn, Volksgezondheid en Gezin werd gevoerd naar het deugdelijk bestuur van non-profitorganisaties in de welzijns- en gezondheidssector. Het gaat na hoe deugdelijk bestuur door de RvB kan worden gerealiseerd in de Vlaamse non-profit welzijns- en gezondheidsorganisaties, zowel vanuit theoretisch perspectief als vanuit de visies in de sector zelf. Ook de vragen welk draagvlak er in de sector bestaat voor initiatieven nemen op vlak van deugdelijk bestuur en welke rol de overheid kan spelen, komen aan bod. In het kader van het onderzoek werden goede praktijken verzameld en werd in november 2008 een colloquium georganiseerd voor actoren uit de Vlaamse non-profit welzijns- en gezondheidssector. Via een aantal praktijkvoorbeelden en workshops werd daar een aantal actuele thema's inzake deugdelijk bestuur besproken. Dit boek rapporteert ook over de informatie die op deze manieren werd verzameld
