Nur rasten und rosten?: Leistungsfähigkeit älterer Menschen in Geschichte und Gegenwart (German Edition)

By Daniel Schäfer Active, healthy and above all productive in old age? For 40 years now, science and politics have been calling for a rethink: Older people should remain independent and productive instead of withdrawing and declining.
