"Culled chiefly from great literary works, this unusual compendium of prose and poetry ... highlights the physical and emotional aspects of aging.... The thoughtful commentary with which Booth connects the selections reminds readers that physical decay and fear of death are conditions common to us all.... Provocative". -- Publishers Weekly
