80: 80 Famous People in Their Eighties Talk About How They Got There and Live There $24.95 Eighty of America’s most famous 80 year olds reflect on their journeys to the big 8-0 and describe the passions that keep them young. These luminous and famous octogenarians seize the moment to reveal the secrets of longevity and share what is great about being 80, what is wrong with the young, what is wrong with the administration, what their days are like today, and what their lives were like in their prime. All were eager, from Mike Wallace and Lena Horne to George McGovern and Helen Thomas, to share their insights.Studs Terkel, 94, has broken his neck, had heart surgery at 93 and claims, “I should be dead, but I’m not for some reason or another. ” What reason might that be? “First of all, I like being a troublemaker.”Lena Horne, 89, remains as politically engaged as ever: “Well, I’m old and I’m still angry. And if there is a “lioness” inside it’s because not everybody had a grandmother like mine.”Maria Tallchief, 81, former prima ballerina maintains the same routine: “I wake up in the morning and I do my pilates exercises. I still do my splits at my bedside before I say my prayers.”No one spent much time talking about his or her health. One exception was comedy writer Bob Schiller who reported that his short-term memory was poor but his long-term memory was good. “But I may have that backward,” he added. “I don’t know if I told you that.”Gerald Gardner is the author of numerous books on politics and film, including the bestselling series Who’s In Charge Here?Jim Bellows is the former editor of the New York Herald Tribune, the Washington Star and Los Angeles Herald-Examiner, managing editor of Entertainment Tonight and creator of New York magazine. |

A Guide to Humanistic Studies in Aging: What Does It Mean to Grow Old? $60 This volume explores the moral, spiritual, and cultural terrain of aging through interdisciplinary scholarship and clinically based research. Aging has long been of interest to scholars and practitioners in a vast array of academic fields and professions. Thomas R. Cole, Ruth E. Ray, and Robert Kastenbaum have brought together leaders from a variety of academic realms to explore how aging is depicted in the modern era and the effect of these portrayals on individuals and society.The first section views aging and old age through the lenses of four disciplines: history, literature, religion, and philosophy. It probes the idea and effect of age in different places and times in history; discusses the concept as put forth in novels, memoirs, and literary studies and criticism; and raises important existential and spiritual questions about the meaning of growing old. The chapters in the second section demonstrate how interdisciplinary humanities can be applied to the study of aging through such thoughtful queries as: How do creativity and health relate in old age? What does “old” mean in an era of high-tech medicine, and what is our moral obligation to care for elderly persons? Why are friendships of special importance to older people? Section three uses semiotics, cultural analysis, and ideological critiques to identify key social issues related to aging, including the concept of “home,” ageism and discrimination, and our understanding of aging in the era of globalization. The text closes with Robert Kastenbaum’s poignant reflection on his own considerations of meaning and mortality as he journeyed back to health following heart surgery. This comprehensive guide works at the nexus of the humanities and health professions to provide the intellectual rationale, history, and a substantive overview of humanistic gerontology as it has emerged in the United States and Europe. |
