Description: Sally Thomason's research and reflection on aging disclose the scientific and medical oversights and cultural biases that inform our attitudes toward aging. Based on the personal experiences and stories of dozens of women interviewed, Thomason proposes strong, new, holistic perspectives that can overcome our cultural misconceptions and animate personal, medical, and religious work by and with the aging.

Review Summary: Fascinating
Date: 2006-11-04
Details: This is a fascinating and exciting book - part history, part anthropology, some science, some medicine, part phychology and philosophy and theology - but principally it is a call to optimism, a call for us to realize that we are never finished but perpetually created, and for us to live fully, to fully live. A must read for the over 60 set!
