Reflections on women&’s aging from the New York Times–bestselling author who inspired the film The Glorias.One day I woke up…

and there was a seventy-year-old woman in my bed . . .   Gloria Steinem has been an eloquent and outspoken voice for women&’s rights and equality for more than four decades. In Doing Sixty & Seventy she addresses an essential concern of people everywhere—and especially of women: the issue of aging. Whereas turning fifty, in her experience, is &“leaving a much-loved and familiar country,&” turning sixty means &“arriving at the border of a new one.&” With insight, intelligence, wit, and heartfelt honesty, she explores the landscapes of this new country and celebrates what she has called &“the greatest adventure of our lives.&”   While appreciating everybody&’s experiences as different, Steinem sees these years as charged with possibilities. Dealing with stereotypes and the &“invisibility&” that often accompany a woman&’s senior years can be as liberating as it is frustrating. It frees women as well as men to embrace that &“full, glorious, alive-in-the-moment, don&’t-give-a-damn yet caring-for-everything sense of the right now.&”  This ebook features an illustrated biography of Gloria Steinem including rare images and never-before-seen documents from the author&’s personal collection.

100,000 heartbeats a day means a lot of wear and tear over the years. Now two doctors explain how to…

lower the risk of a stroke as you age.   Natural aging leads to artery plaque, high blood pressure, and slower and irregular heartbeats. You can do everything right, but while you can influence some aspects of aging on your own, some you cannot—at least not without your doctor&’s help. Fortunately, the biology of aging is no longer mysterious. Heart and blood vessel health is knowable, measurable, and manageable.   In You Can Prevent a Stroke, Dr. Joshua Yamamoto and Dr. Kristin Thomas help us understand what we can do, and what we can ask of our doctors, to manage the effects of aging on our circulation so that we do not have a stroke. Drawing on fundamentals learned at The Johns Hopkins Hospital, they offer principles and preventative steps that aren&’t one-size-fit-all solutions or magical cures—just solid science to help anyone manage the natural processes that affect us all. Included is information on:   ·       Establishing a relationship with a physician ·       Knowing the health of your heart ·       Knowing the health of your arteries ·       Knowing the regularity of your heartbeat ·       Knowing if it&’s time to take a medicine to prevent plaque in your arteries, and whether you need a pill to prevent a blood clot   Strokes can be avoided—and You Can Prevent a Stroke explains how.

Grandparenting: Contemporary Perspectives is one of the first books of its kind to offer a dedicated account of the social…

and psychological research on this important life stage. Reflecting the contemporary positive approach to ageing, it covers many of the issues that impact the grandparent experience today, such as care-giving and changing family structures, to reveal the health and wellbeing benefits of the grandparent role. It examines biological, psychological, social/ familial, gender, cultural and economic dimensions to map out the current landscape in this emerging field. Moore and Rosenthal draw on quantitative and qualitative, experimental, survey, observation and case study research, including unique data on grandfathers. They examine how people respond to the challenges and possibilities of grandparenting, and how this influences intergenerational relationships and adapting to growing older. The book provides a comprehensive, up-to-date evidence base for students in health, sociology and psychology and those interested in gerontology and the lifespan.

What if the work of a nurse, physio, or homecare worker was designated an art, so that the qualities of…

the experiences they create became understood as aesthetic qualities? What if the interactions created by artists, directors, dancers, or workshop facilitators were understood as works of care? Care Aesthetics is the first full-length book to explore these questions and examine the work of carer artists and artist carers to make the case for the importance of valuing and supporting aesthetically caring relations across multiple aspects of our lives. Theoretically and practically, the book outlines the implications of care aesthetics for the socially engaged arts field and health and social care, and for acts of aesthetic care in the everyday. Part 1 of the book outlines the approaches to aesthetics and to care theory that are necessary to make and defend the concept of care aesthetics. Part 2 then tests this through practice, examining socially engaged arts and health and social care through its lens. It makes the case for careful art exploring the implications of care aesthetics for participatory or applied arts. Then it argues for artful care and how an aesthetic orientation to care practices might challenge some of the inadequacies of contemporary care. This is a vital, paradigm-shifting book for anyone engaged with socially engaged arts or social and health care practices on an academic or professional level.

Over the past few years the world's population has continued on its remarkable transition from a state of high birth…

and death rates to one characterized by low birth and death rates. Consequently, primary care physicians and dermatologists will see more elderly patients presenting age-related dermatological conditions. There has never been a better time for a book devoted entirely to skin care in the elderly.Geriatric Dermatology draws together a panel of experts who provide an overview of the diagnosis and treatment of geriatric skin diseases. It begins with a general review of the aging of the world's population and the major dermatological problems that often arise in elderly patients. An added benefit is the book's coverage of geriatric skin care in nursing homes, adult congregate living, and subacute and home health settings, a subject not always found in conventional dermatology texts.The book includes:A summary of the dermatological disorders frequently encountered in the elderly, including eczematous dermatitis, skin infections, and neoplasiasA description of the most common geriatric hair and scalp disorders, including graying, alopecia, and scalp psoriasisComprehensive coverage of the diagnosis and treatment of leg, foot, and nail diseasesDetailed discussion of the treatment of superficial mycoses, scabies, and pediculosisLess common geriatric conditions such as blistering diseases Major adverse drug reactions on the skinLeg ulcers due to venous insufficiency, arterial diseases, and diabetic nephropathyDiagnosis and treatment of diabetic complications of dermatology, such scleroderma and dermopathyThe study of diseases that impact the elderly population is a crucial and growing area of interest in medicine. Geriatricians, primary care physicians, dermatologists, and others involved in the care of the elderly will inevitably see an increase in skin diseases specific to aging. The comprehensive coverage provided by Geriatric Dermatology facilitates the diagnosis and management of these geriatric skin diseases from the common to the rare and unusual.

“The finest handbook we’ve seen on the subject.” —AARP MagazineAppliances and car lights turn themselves off. Smartphones and laptops remind…

us of appointments. Google lets us search for information we can’t remember. Yet with all these advances, we still grow frustrated and anxious when words won’t come, when we misplace items, or when we forget the name of the person in front of us.Now, University of Michigan social workers Janet Fogler and Lynn Stern have completely updated their friendly, practical guide to memory improvement techniques, many of which can provide immediate results. Recognizing that people worry something is wrong with them when they forget things, they suggest that the antidote to worry is taking positive action to help us remember what we want to remember. They provide tools for understanding and improving memory, including sixteen helpful exercises. Simple techniques like writing information down, creating a catch word or phrase, altering something in your environment, and reviewing details in advance can put you actively in charge of retrieving information more easily.As in previous editions, Improving Your Memory reinforces memory techniques through real-life examples. This accessible handbook also discusses how memory works; how it changes with age, stress, illness, and depression, and why people remember what they do.“One of the most complete memory training guides available . . . This volume has clearly emerged from considerable practical experience with conducting memory courses.” —Contemporary Gerontology

&“There's lots of good news for the middle aged…A very jolly book with clear scientific explanations.&”—The Telegraph   David Bainbridge…

is a vet with a particular interest in evolutionary zoology—and he has just turned forty. As well as the usual concerns about greying hair, failing eyesight, and goldfish levels of forgetfulness, he finds himself pondering some bigger questions: have I come to the end of my productive life as a human being? And what I am now for?   By looking afresh at the latest research from the fields of anthropology, neuroscience, psychology, and reproductive biology, it seems that the answers are surprisingly, reassuringly encouraging. In clear, engaging and amiable prose, Bainbridge explains the science behind the physical, mental and emotional changes men and women experience between the ages of 40 and 60, and reveals the evolutionary—and personal—benefits of middle age, which is unique to human beings and helps to explain the extraordinary success of our species. Middle Age will change the way you think about midlife, and help turn the crisis into a cause for celebration.   &“Bainbridge's zoological examination of the human animal results in a study that is full of surprises...Heartening.&”—Sunday Times &“Thought-provoking. [It] should certainly shed some new light on one's own potbellied or menopausal mid-life crisis...Fascinating.&”—Evening Standard

You cannot call to mind the name of a man you have known for 30 years. You walk into a…

room and forget what you came for. What is the name of that famous film youve watched so many times? These are common experiences, and as we grow older we tend to worry about these lapses. Is our memory failing? Is it dementia? Douwe Draaisma, a renowned memory specialist, here focuses on memory in later life. Writing with eloquence and humor, he explains neurological phenomena without becoming lost in specialist terminology. His book is reminiscent of Oliver Sackss work, and not coincidentally this volume includes a long interview with Sacks, who speaks of his own memory changes as he entered his sixties. Draaisma moves smoothly from anecdote to research and back, weaving stories and science into a compelling description of the terrain of memory. He brings to light the "reminiscence effect," just one of the unexpected pleasures of an aging memory. The author writes reassuringly about forgetfulness and satisfyingly dismantles the stubborn myth that mental gymnastics can improve memory. He presents a convincing case in favor of the aging mind and urges us to value the nostalgia that survives as recollection, appreciate the intangible nature of past events, and take pleasure in the consolation of razor-sharp reminiscing.

Bestselling author, and 'mother of mindfulness', Ellen J. Langer makes her long-awaited return sharing her groundbreaking research in The Mindful…

Body.Have you ever wondered if you could improve your health by harnessing the power of your mind?When it comes to our health, too many of us feel trapped by a medical diagnosis, believing that it can only mean a static or worsening condition. Whether it is stiff knees, frayed nerves or failing eyesight, your mind can lead you to believe things will only get worse. But with practical steps and scientific research you can take control of your mindset, by using your thoughts and perspective to help improve your wellbeing.In The Mindful Body, award-winning social psychologist Ellen J. Langer draws on her lifetime of expertise and trailblazing research by revealing the capacity that mindfulness has to transform our lives. Opening the door to her pioneering Harvard lab, Langer uncovers the secret of how the mind and the body are in fact a single system, and if we embrace the idea of mind-body unity, new possibilities for controlling our health become available to us.Featuring autobiographical anecdotes, iconoclastic philosophy and cutting-edge research, The Mindful Body will help you navigate a path to improved health and wellbeing and in turn boost your cognitive capabilities so that you can take back control of your body for a brighter future.
