Provides a broad overview of education by and for people who identify themselves as associated with the later stages of life, whenever they believe that begins. Traces the changes over the past 10-15 years; describes specific programs now operating; profiles some of the people; and considers how education fits into the larger life of older people and how senior programs fit into education as a whole. Not a guide to setting up a program, but background for researchers and administrators of both education and elder programs who see the flood of baby-boomers just cresting the hill. Published in association with the Center for Creative Retirement at the University of North Carolina, Asheville. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
