Resource Title: Elderhood: Redefining Aging, Transforming Medicine, Reimagining Life
Publication Title: Bloomsbury Publishing (Louise Aronson author)
Publish Date: June 11, 2019
Reminiscent of Oliver Sacks, noted Harvard-trained geriatrician Louise Aronson uses stories from her quarter century of caring for patients, and draws from history, science, literature, popular culture, and her own life to weave a vision of old age that’s neither nightmare nor utopian fantasy–a vision full of joy, wonder, frustration, outrage, and hope about aging, medicine, and humanity itself.
Elderhood is for anyone who is, in the author’s own words, “an aging, i.e., still-breathing human being.”
