1) Hardcover Book The Graying of America: An Encyclopedia of Aging, Health, Mind, and Behavior (2d ed.) by University of Illinois Press. Thoughfully written, interesting from cover to cover and painstakingly comprehensive - there isn´t much more you could ask from a reference book, particularly if you´re not an expert on the subject. I really enjoyed reading The Graying of America, and found it much more interesting (and less dry) than I expected. As a gerentology novice who works as a volunteer with hospice patients, I wanted something that would show me many facets of living with aging, rather than my usual reading on coming to terms with dying. This book fit the bill to a "T", and I would imagine it would have a place on the bookshelf of anyone interested in aging well and understanding the life of the elderly.¤

2) Hardcover Book The Graying of America: An Encyclopedia of Aging, Health, Mind, and Behavior (2d ed.) by University of Illinois Press. This second edition of The Graying of America greatly expands and updates the most comprehensive reference book on aging that is readily accessible to the lay reader.

Featuring nontechnical language, user-friendly indexes, and more than 150 new entries, the second edition covers new topics such as acupuncture, wheelchairs, adjusting to bifocals, preparing for traveling, improving communication with physicians, and avoiding eye strain in computer use. Among other updates are more detailed coverage of health problems including arthritis, diabetes, osteoporosis, and various kinds of cancer, as well as advice on reducing the stress of caring for a family member with Alzheimer´s disease. In addition to discussing hundreds of common ailments and conditions, Kausler and Kausler provide constructive guidance on regular physical activity, mental stimulation, and other behaviors that promote "successful aging."¤
