With refreshing candor, she digs down under the statistics about our graying population and offers a provocative and unflinching examination of all the burning issues that mark aging today. Tackling the subject over a broad swath of the population, cutting across race, class, gender, and physical and cognitive ability, Rubin delivers a powerful and long-overdue reminder that everyone will be touched by the problems arising from our new longevity.Sixty on upOlder peopleUnited StatesPsychologyOlder peopleUnited StatesConduct of lifeOlder peopleUnited StatesAttitudesAgingUnited StatesOlder peoplePsychology.Older peopleConduct of life.Older peopleAttitudes.Aging305.26Rubin Lillian B892405MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK991097543100332160 on up4472116UNINA
