Final Acts
Death, Dying, and the Choices We Make
Edited by Nan Bauer-Maglin and Donna Perry
Rutgers University Press
Today most people die gradually, from incremental illnesses, rather than from the heart attacks or fast-moving diseases that killed earlier generations. Given this new reality, the essays in Final Acts explore how we can make informed and caring end-of-life choices for ourselves and for those we loveùand what can happen without such planning.
Gray Matters
Finding Meaning in the Stories of Later Life
By Ellyn Lem; Foreword by Margaret Cruikshank
Rutgers University Press
Gray Matters: Finding Meaning in the Stories of Later Life examines films, literature, and art that focus on aging, often made by people who are over sixty-five. These texts are analyzed alongside recent gerontology research and extensive commentary from interviews and surveys of seniors to show how "stories" illuminate the dynamics of growing old by blending fact with imagination, giving a fuller picture of the aging process.
