Farmer (rural health management and policy, La Trobe University, Australia) brings together international contributors in areas such as social gerontology, health and social policy, and social
anthropology. They report on Older People for Older People (O4O), a project to involve older people in the design and delivery of services for elders in Scotland, Northern Ireland, Greenland,
Sweden, and Finland. The case study of the O4O project sheds light on community social enterprise in rural areas, but also has implications for other settings. Some areas discussed include
organizational processes, sustaining social organizations in rural areas, and measuring the value of social organizations as rural service providers. The book will be of interest to community
members, planners, service providers, and policymakers. Annotation ©2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
