David I. Kertzer and David L. Featherman, series editors

A broad interdisciplinary spectrum of inquiry into the nature of human timetables and biographies.

Thus, the series aspires to encompass the works on life periods as well as on the life course as a whole, on life-span human development, and on aging.
