Overview

In the Realm of the Aging Senses is a traveler's guide for the journey into sensory aging, encompassing all our human senses, examining how they work and how they change as we age. Centuries of probing, decades of intense scientific and clinical research, insights from fellow travelers on this journey, and detailed study of persons along the path have been woven together with anecdotes of some of the colorful people who have reported back from this novel landscape. In the Realm includes amusing and engaging observations of the methods and sometime madness involved in sensory research, creating a Baedeker for the sensory landscape we are all destined to traverse. In the Realm provides practical advice on how to prepare for, delay, and mitigate the inevitable changes each of us will encounter, useful to those already making the journey and and those taking care of aging loved ones on that path. The book also looks ahead to a possible future where medical and engineering advances might postpone or correct the sensory deficits that arise as we grow old.
