      abstract = {Older aged adults face many adversities over the later  life course. This edited volume will address the ways in  which seniors bounce back from different types and  combinations of adversity - termed "resilience". While  research has been accumulating that identifies inherent  abilities and external resources needed to adapt and  navigate stress-inducing experiences among aging and older  adults, gaps remain in understanding the unique elements  and processes of resilience. A series of chapters included  in this book will address several overarching questions:  why do some older individuals/families/communities adapt to  adversity better than others; what are modifiable  behavioral protective/risk factors related to resilience;  and how can we foster resilience at the  individual/community level and which approaches show the  most promise? The spectrum of aging-related challenges and  responses addressed in this book include: mental health;  physical/functional health problems; multimorbidity;  socio-economic deprivation; social isolation and  loneliness; cultural dimensions of loneliness;  housing/homelessness problems; and environmental disasters.  This book presents cutting-edge science at the conceptual,  methodological, empirical and practice levels applied to  emerging resilience sub-fields in gerontology. It will also  present potential areas of future research, policy and  practice linked to these areas.},
