THRIVING ON AN AGINGWORKFORCE:
Strategies for Organizational andSystemic Change
Edited by Paulette T. Beatty & Roemer M.S. Visser
Orig. Edition 2005 228 pp. ISBN 1-57524-200-1 $40.50
By means of a modified Delphi, the editorsbring together nationally recognized lead-ers in the aging workforce arena. With theseexperts, we find the best minds in Americaidentifying the most crucial issues facingour society as we strive for organizationalexcellence and prepare for the future withan increasingly aging workforce. These is-sues are identified: recruiting and retainingolder workers; training older workers; ca-reer development for older workers; en-hancing intergenerational relations; healthand older workers; pensions and older work-
ers; and redefining retirement. Each issue is then addressed from twoperspectives. In most cases, the perspective of leaders in the field,such as expert consultants, leaders and professionals in professionalorganizations, acclaimed think tanks, and governmental agencies, iscontrasted with the perspective of acclaimed academic scholars fromfields such as psychology, sociology, law, and gerontology, amongothers. For each issue, the contributors present specific recommen-dations for building individual and collective excellence with an agingworkforce. In the final chapter, the editors summarize and synthesizethese contributions and present strategies that are most likely toresult in systemic, organizational change.
“…an essential addition for human resource managers, supervisors,
policy-makers, researchers, and adult educators in a time of major
demographic shifts and workforce challenges.”—Canadian Journal
of University Continuing Education
“…well-written, informative introductions to the basic issues raised by
an aging workforce…organizational and political policy makers will
be in a better position to raise significant questions as a result of
reading Thriving on an Aging Workforce. Finally graduate and under-
graduate students in courses in human resources, industrial-organi-
zational psychology, gerontology, and work and professions will find
this to be an outstanding introduction to the study of the aging
workforce.”—Personnel Psychology

and Judgesby William Bernet & Don R. Ash
Orig. Ed. 2007 ISBN 1-57524-288-5 196 pp. $31.50
This book speaks to the adults who deal with children of divorce—parents, therapists, attorneys, and judges—and gets them all onthe same page. The authors believe that parents and professionalsshould be able to communicate with a common language regardingthe children of divorce. This book contains much specific advice onhow to achieve basic goals: children should have a good relation-ship with both parents; divorced parents should find ways to makelife as normal as possible for their children; and divorced parentsand their children should accept the inevitable losses and disap-pointments and move on with their lives. Children of Divorce isorganized around the use of parenting plans, agreements that aredeveloped through the collaboration of the parents rather thanimposed by a judge.
