Begun in 1938, the Grant Study of Adult Development charted the physical and emotional health of over 200 men, starting with their undergraduate days. The now-classic Adaptation to Life reported on the men's lives up to age 55 and helped us understand adult maturation. Now George Vaillant follows the men into their nineties, documenting for the first time what it is like to flourish far beyond conventional retirement. Reporting on all aspects of male life, including relationships, politics and religion, coping strategies, and alcohol use (its abuse being by far the greatest disruptor of health and happiness for the study's subjects), Triumphs of Experience shares a number of surprising findings. For example, the people who do well in old age did not necessarily do so well in midlife, and vice versa. While the study confirms that recovery from a lousy childhood is possible, memories of a happy childhood are a lifelong source of strength. Marriages bring much more contentment after age 70, and physical aging after 80 is determined less by heredity than by habits formed prior to age 50. The credit for growing old with grace and vitality, it seems, goes more to ourselves than to our stellar genetic makeup. 606 $aAging$xSocial aspects$zUnited States$vLongitudinal studies 606 $aAging$zUnited States$xPsychological aspects$vLongitudinal studies 606 $aMen$zUnited States$vLongitudinal studies 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aAging$xSocial aspects 615 0$aAging$xPsychological aspects 615 0$aMen 676 $a305.310973 700 $aVaillant$b George E.$f1934-$096209 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910462191103321 996 $aTriumphs of experience$92463467 997 $aUNINA LEADER 02740nam 2200577 a 450 001 9910457156203321 005 20200520144314.0 010 $a1-283-01914-0 010 $a9786613019141 010 $a0-309-16204-1 035 $a(CKB)2550000000032008 035 $a(EBL)3378751 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000539180 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11357037 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000539180 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10569457 035 $a(PQKB)10287024 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC3378751 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL3378751 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10454972 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL301914 035 $a(OCoLC)720652243 035 $a(EXLCZ)992550000000032008 100 $a20110414d2011 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcn||||||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aMissouri River planning$b[electronic resource] $erecognizing and incorporating sediment management /$fNational Research Council of the National Academies 210 $aWashington, D.C. $cNational Academies Press$d2011 215 $a1 online resource (165 p.) 300 $a"Committee on Missouri River Recovery and Associated Sediment Management Issues, Water Science and Technology Board, Division of Earth and Life Studies." 311 $a0-309-16203-3 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references. 327 $a""Front Matter""; ""Preface""; ""Contents""; ""Summary""; ""1 Introduction""; ""2 Changes in Missouri River Sediment and Related Processes""; ""3 Missouri River Governance: Institutions, Laws, and Policies for Managing Sediment and Related Resources""; ""4 Sediment and Current Ecological Restoration Activities""; ""5 Sediment Management Alternatives and Opportunities""; ""6 Water Quality and Missouri River Sediment Management""; ""7 Science, Policy, and Future Decision Making Along the Missouri River""; ""References""; ""Appendix A: Guest Speakers at Committee Meetings"" 327 $a""Appendix B: Acronyms""""Appendix C: Biographical Information: Committee on Missouri River Recovery and Associated Sediment Management Issues"" 606 $aSediment control$zMissouri River 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aSediment control 676 $a333.9528 712 02$aNational Research Council (U.S.).$bCommittee on Missouri River Recovery and Associated Sediment Management Issues. 712 02$aNational Research Council (U.S.).$bWater Science and Technology Board. 712 02$aNational Research Council (U.S.).$bDivision on Earth and Life Studies. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910457156203321 996 $aMissouri River planning$91957062 997 $aUNINA
