More Description For more than a decade, The Graying of America has helped thousands of senior citizens find their way through the thickets and thorns of growing old. Now greatly revised and expanded to include information gleaned from studies of the past five years, this third edition has been retitled to stress its ongoing purpose: conveying a wealth of commonsense information for general readers in nontechnical language. Its 588 entries (including 172 new and 150 substantially revised) cover a broad spectrum of topics--from adjusting to retirement to grandparenting, sleep disorders to Alzheimer's disease. The Essential Guide to Aging in the Twenty-First Century can help seniors come to grips with their own aging process--and help younger adults understand what is happening to older family members.
