The Rog-graded Equivariant Ordinary Homology of G-cell Complexes With Even-dimensional Cells for G=z/P

In this warm and accessibly written study - the first major consideration of old age in Western philosophy and literature since Simone de Beauvoir's The Coming of Age - Helen Small ranges widely from the writings of Plato through to recent philosophical work by Derek Parfit, Bernard Williams and others, and from Shakespeare's King Lear through works by Thomas Mann, Balzac, Dickens, Beckett, Stevie Smith, Larkin, to more recent writing by Bellow, Roth, and Coetzee. A groundbreaking book that is likely to alter the way in which we talk about one of the great social concerns of our time.
