How We Age: A Doctor's Journey Into the Heart of Growing OldIn the tradition of Atul Gawande and Sherwin Nuland, Marc Agronin writes luminously and unforgettably of life as he sees it as a doctor. His beat is a nursing home in Miami that some would dismiss as God's waiting room. Nothing in the young doctor's medical training had quite prepared him for what he was to discover there. As Agronin first learned from ninety eight year old Esther and, later, from countless others, the true scales of aging aren't one
In the tradition of Atul Gawande and Sherwin Nuland, Marc Agronin writes luminously and unforgettably of life as he sees it as a doctor. His beat is a nursing home in Miami that some would dismiss as God's waiting room. Nothing in the young doctor's medical training had quite prepared him for what he was to discover there. As Agronin first learned from ninety-eight-year-old Esther and, later, from countless others, the true scales of aging aren't one-sided -- you can't list the problems without also tallying the hopes and promises. Drawing on moving personal experiences and in-depth interviews with pioneers in the field, Agronin conjures a spellbinding look at what aging means today -- how our bodies and brains age, and the very way we understand aging.Binding Type: Paperback

Great story and wonderful pictures
I’ve been trying to find books my son (6) would enjoy reading. He's asked me to read this one to him every night for like a week now. It’s a sweet story and the illustrations are beautiful. I’m really glad I bought it.

Award Winning Teaching Book
Format: Hardcover
This story has a lovely story that is a great teaching moment for young children. I enjoyed the illustrations and I find these stories about real life situations of other people in other circumstances other than your own offer great teaching moments for the young readers....Recommend you read it to your young children and it gives you a good opportunity to explain to your children that even those who have much less than you do....but, have love and family are wealthy in their own way....and to express all types of families exist and are all just as important and your individual family is to you. Important that they are getting more books out that offer important lessons about life to young people...to grow their empathy for others...and caring feelings for others from a young age. Recommend
