Description:
Stated First Printing 8vo size hardcover with dust jacket; 208 pages From jacket: "(The author's) informants tell their life stories and relate their most personal feelings about becoming old. Each story is unique, and yet, presented together, they inevitably weave a clear pattern, one that clashes sharply with much current gerontological thought... Contrary to popular conceptions of old age, which tend to view it as a distinct period of life, the elderly themselves emphasize the continuity of an ageless self amid changes across the life span...they deal with specific problems, changes and disabilities as they arise, just as they have been doing throughout their lives..." Ex-library with typical treatments, jacket is covered with mylar. We note a light spot in the margins of page 32-34 and on outside pages. . First. Hard Cover. Good/Good. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.

From back: "Former Congressman Robert Drinan sees the nuclear freeze movement as a cry of desperation from the American people that must be heeded by policymakers.

Robert Drinan, S.J. (1920-2007) was a Catholic priest, United States Congressman and law professor. He was the first Roman Catholic priest to serve in Congress in 1971 and went on to be re-elected several times.
