1. Surveying the frontiers of aging -- 2. Setting boundaries for disciplined discoveries -- 3. Establishing outposts for multidisciplinary research on aging -- 4. Organizing the Gerontological Society to promote interdisciplinary research amid disciplinary and professional constrictions -- 5. Risk taking in the modern research university and the fate of multidisciplinary institutes on aging -- 6. The federal government as sponsor, producer, and consumer of research on aging -- 7. Gerontology in the service of America's aging veterans.

Although philosophers, physicians, and others have long pondered the meanings and experiences of growing older, gerontology did not emerge as a scientific field of inquiry in the United States until the twentieth century. The study of aging borrows from a variety of other disciplines, including medicine, psychology, sociology, and anthropology, but its own scientific basis is still developing. Crossing Frontiers is the first book-length study of the history of gerontology. By tracing intellectual networks and analyzing institutional patterns, W. Andrew Achenbaum explores how old age became a "problem" worth investigating and how a multidisciplinary orientation took shape. Gerontology is a marginal intellectual enterprise but its very strengths and weaknesses illuminate the politics of specialization and academic turf-fighting in U.S. higher education.
