Through interdisciplinary engagement, the work highlights how narratives of aging can reflect and respond to contemporary environmental issues. By weaving together personal stories, cultural critiques, and scientific insights, the authors invite readers to reconsider the relationship between aging and our ecological future. This thought-provoking volume emphasizes the necessity of collaboration across disciplines to foster a holistic understanding of what it means to age in a rapidly changing world.
