Reviews

Old age is presented as a question, asked from diverse perspectives. As readers view old age as a construction of medical policies, a philosophical puzzle, and a network of altruistic friends, they will be drawn in to ask what to call this period of life, how to respond to it, and ultimately how to live it. -Arthur W. Frank, author of The Wounded Storyteller In this important and provocative book, the editors and authors make a compelling case for a much needed 'ethics of aging' that holistically addresses the unique character of the aging process and its role in defining a 'good life.' -Daniel B. Hinshaw, MD, author of Touch and the Healing of the World
