The Journals of Gerontology - History

History

The journals were founded under the title Journal of Gerontology in 1946. In 1961, material dealing with social policy, program development, and service delivery was split into a new journal, The Gerontologist. In 1988 Journal of Gerontology was renamed Journals of Gerontology to reflect the fact that it represented a composite of four journals with four separate editors, and in 1995 it was split into two separate publications: the Journals of Gerontology: Biological Sciences and Medical Sciences and the Journals of Gerontology: Psychological Sciences and Social Sciences.

Famous quotes containing the word history:

    Literary works cannot be taken over like factories, or literary forms of expression like industrial methods. Realist writing, of which history offers many widely varying examples, is likewise conditioned by the question of how, when and for what class it is made use of.
    Bertolt Brecht (1898–1956)

    History does nothing; it does not possess immense riches, it does not fight battles. It is men, real, living, who do all this.... It is not “history” which uses men as a means of achieving—as if it were an individual person—its own ends. History is nothing but the activity of men in pursuit of their ends.
    Karl Marx (1818–1883)

    As I am, so shall I associate, and so shall I act; Caesar’s history will paint out Caesar.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
