\nSince paraprofessionals,as aides to the elderly,serve muchof the older population,it is important if they are to serveeffectively that they know something about the changes thattake place in both the normal and the abnormal aging person.It is also important for them to be aware of the various areas inwhich one can work with older persons and of the differentfederal,state,and local programs available for them.It is tofill these needs that this book is written.It is not intended to bea scientific treatise or a detailed,scholarly presentation of allthe things that happen to people as they grow old,but rather,areadable survey of the field which will help those in contactwith the aging to gain a better understanding of them.  \nSummaries and questions have been included for eachchapter in Parts 1 and 2 but have been omitted in the chaptersof Part 3 because this part is intended primarily as a reference,and it is felt that summaries and questions would therefore beinappropriate.
