THIS IS AN EXCELLENT BOOK!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Growing Older In Contemporary America (Hardcover)
This book has great depth on the subject of growing older yet is very easy to read. I recommend this book to every member of the 'baby boom' generation! Designed as a textbook, anyone at all levels can benefit greatly from the insight that Growing Older provides.

A big disappointment,
By A Customer
This review is from: Growing Older In Contemporary America (Hardcover)
I was really let down by this book because it doesn't address the financing crisis in this country, and how we can pay for care.
