Book Description
"We are not alone in our worry about both the
physical aspect of aging and the prejudice that exists toward
the elderly, which is similar to racism or sexism. What makes
it different is that the prejudice also exists among those of
us who are either within this group or rapidly approaching
it. When I have mentioned the title of this book to a few
people, most of them responded, 'Virtues? What could possibly
be good about growing old? The most obvious answer, of
course, is to consider the alternative to aging. But there
are plenty of other good answers--many based on our personal
experiences and observations. "
