Beginning in 1869, when the study of homosexuality can be said to have begun with the establishment of sexology, this Encyclopedia offers accounts of the most important international developments in an area that now occupies a critical place in many fields of academic endeavours. While gays and lesbians have shared many aspects of life, their histories and cultures developed in profoundly different ways. To reflect this crucial fact, the Encyclopedia has been prepared in two separate volumes assuring that both histories receive full, unbiased attention and that a broad range of human experience is covered. Written by some of the most famous names in the field, as well as new researchers this is intended as a reference for students and scholars in all areas of study, as well as the general public.

This volume brings together chapters about aging in many non-Western cultures, from Africa and Asia to South America, from American Indians to Australian and Hawaii Aboriginals. It also includes articles on other issues of aging, such as falling, dementia, and elder abuse. It was thought that in Africa or Asia, elders were revered and taken care of. This certainly used to be the case. But the Western way has moved into these places, and we now find that elders are often left on their own or in institutions, as younger people have migrated to other cities and even countries. Grandparents often find themselves being parents to their grandchildren, a far cry from the kind of life they believed they would have as they aged. This book will explore all these issues and will be of use to students and researchers in this relatively new field.

Behold what manner of race the fathers of the Golden Age left behind them! Far meaner than themselves! But you will breed a viler progeny! Verily wars and cruel bloodshed shall be unto men and grievous woe shall be laid upon them- Aratus, Phaenomena 123 Aratus was Greek poet that in his poem Appearances have presented the predictions delivered by Astraea, daughter of Zeus and Themis, devoted to human justice on Earth. Themis was known as goddess of divine law. The law of absolute principles of logic of endurance of humanity always would connect to rules of correctness. Accordingly, she would be real predecessor to the institution of Supreme Court. Yet, it seems exactly there we have to confront the other side, into claiming and declaring what Supreme is and can possibly be on Earth. What I found almost necessary is to point out that if anyone is to claim any legacy on anything it has to be clear what kind of legacy can be only acceptable to be claimed first of all. I am to insist on the conception of licencing of the civilizational stamp of Earth as declared with in main civilizational declarations of present times of protectionism of civil rights, while we still recognize the meaning of having a soul so no anyone can claim it and interpret it as one wants, especially in the future. I have on mind some kind of sealing of the cultural identities of the nations in terms of qualitative differences that each nation is making, promoting further straightening of civilizational values as a consequence. Origin with in such perspective does and will matter. Yet, I am trying to establish humanity with in its abstract dimension, through the set of clear rules of civilizational conduct, justice and exactness that than only we can call civilisation, as it will be something on what our future generations can rely.
