Review

In a concise, but well-articulated treasure trove of information, the authors have offered scholars both a conceptual framework and performance mechanics to engage in and to assess research on Hispanic elders. This project, funded by a grant from the Administration on Aging, must be considered a seminal effort. It is rare to find a do as I do rather than a do as I say engagement with the reader. Such an approach permits pleasure in learning....This study, replete with descriptors, references, andrich bibliographic supplements, must be considered a landmark effort.
