Growing old : notes on aging with something like grace / Elizabeth Marshall Thomas. by Thomas, Elizabeth Marshall, 1931- author. New York, NY: HarperOne, an imprint of HarperCollins Publishers, [2020] Subjects Older women -- United States -- Biography.   Aging -- United States.   Older people -- United States -- Social conditions -- 21st century. ISBN:  9780062956439 (hardcover) : 0062956434 (hardcover) : Description:  213 pages ; 22 cm Edition:  First edition. Requests:  1 Summary:  From the revered author of the bestselling The Hidden Life of Dogs, a witty, engaging, life-affirming account of the joy, strength, and wisdom that comes with age. 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 eighty-eight, turns her keen eye to her own life. The result is an account of growing old that is at once funny and charming and 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. A charmingly intimate account and a broad look at the social and historical traditions related to aging, Growing Old explores a wide range of issues connected with growing older, from stereotypes of the elderly as burdensome to the methods of burial humans have used throughout history to how to deal with a concerned neighbor who assumes you're buying cat food to eat for dinner. Written with the wit of Nora Ephron's I Feel Bad About My Neck and the lyrical beauty and serene wisdom of When Breath Becomes Air, Growing Old is an expansive and deeply personal paean to the beauty and the brevity of life that offers understanding for everyone, regardless of age.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 305.26097 Th Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 305.26097 Thomas Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kalihi-Palama Public Library Adult Nonfiction 305.26097 Th Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapaa Public Library Adult Nonfiction 305.26097 Th Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kealakekua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 305.26097 Th Checked In Add Copy to MyList Lihue Public Library Adult Nonfiction 305.2097 Th Checked In Add Copy to MyList Makawao Public Library Adult Nonfiction 305.26097 Th Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mountain View P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 305.26097 Th Item being held Add Copy to MyList
