Elderhood: Redefining Aging, Transforming Medicine, Reimagining Life - Book by Louise Aronson

Elderhood: Redefining Aging, Transforming Medicine, Reimagining Life” (2019)

For more than 5,000 years, "old" has been defined as beginning between the ages of 60 and 70. That means most people alive today will spend more years in elderhood than in childhood, and many will be elders for 40 years or more. Yet at the very moment that humans are living longer than ever before, we’ve made old age into a disease, a condition to be dreaded, denigrated, neglected, and denied.

A History Of The Present Illness: Stories - Book by Louise Aronson

A History Of The Present Illness: Stories” (2013)

A History of the Present Illness takes readers into overlooked lives in the neighborhoods, hospitals, and nursing homes of San Francisco, offering a deeply humane and incisive portrait of health and illness in American today. An elderly Chinese immigrant sacrifices his demented wife's well-being to his son's authority. A busy Latina physician's eldest daughter's need for more attention has disastrous consequences. A young veteran's injuries become a metaphor for the rest of his life.
