Books by Edward H. Thompson

Men, Masculinities, and Aging explores the intersections of generations, class, geographies, and masculinities. It offers a fresh perspective on men's experiences with bodily aging, growing older within ageist societies, and navigating the virtual absence of cultural guidelines for being an old man.

As they reach middle age, most men begin looking forward to "what's next." They gear up to experience renewed productivity and purpose and are more conscious of their health. This book provides a guide to healthy aging from a man's perspective.

Until recently, older men were not a social phenomenon commanding great attention. They constitute a distinct minority of the elderly. This is a thorough bibliography on the topic, and it brings together more than 750 articles, organised by broad subject area.
