Product Description
Elizabeth Marshall Thomas has spent a lifetime observing the natural world, chronicling the customs of pre-contact hunter-gatherers and the secret lives of deer and dogs. In this book, the capstone of her long career, Thomas, now 88, turns her keen eye to her own life. The result is an account of growing old that is at once funny and charming, intimate and profound; both a memoir and a life-affirming map all of us may follow to embrace our later years with grace and dignity. 'Growing Old' explores a wide range of issues connected with aging, from stereotypes of the elderly as burdensome to the methods of burial humans have used throughout history to how to deal with a concerned neighbour who assumes you're buying cat food to eat for dinner. This title is an expansive and deeply personal paean to the beauty and the brevity of life that offers understanding for everyone, regardless of age.
