From the reviews:

“Provide a wealth of information regarding emerging trends in the area of resilience and aging as well as important insights regarding areas of need for future research. … offer a broad range of material for researchers and other professionals who want to keep abreast of emerging developments in the area of resilience and aging as well as those interested in enhancing their breadth of knowledge regarding the topic.” (Molly M. Perkins, The Gerontologist, Vol. 54 (1), 2014)

“Provides an interesting account of resilience–an important concept with respect to understanding the outcomes of human aging. … Resilience in Aging: Concepts, Research, and Outcomes represents a unique account of the multiple aspects of resilience as they relate to the aging process. … it offers readers ample opportunity to form their own views of this term and of how it may apply to them personally. As such, the book is a valuable addition to the literature on resilience in aging.” (Ross Andel, Journal of the American Medical Association, May, 2011)

“This multiauthored book explores the concept of resilience in old age. … The audience is primarily gerontologists. … This book is timely. It has a thorough discussion of many aspects of the developing concept of resiliency in old age. … Even if the notions of resiliency evolve and change somewhat with time, this seems to be a significant idea in contemporary gerontology, making this book well worth reading.” (David O. Staats, Doody’s Review Service, January, 2010)
