A beautiful book!

This is probably one of the most beautiful books I've ever purchased. The photography is superb. The text is superb. The whole concept is superb. Run out today and get it!

And beyond the Baby Boomers.............?

Joyce Tenneson respects her subjects, whether they be flowers, women or men, and after her illuminating book WISE WOMEN in which she photographed and quoted women over the age of 60 she now gives us an equally elegant survey of Men over the age of 60. In this youth oriented culture where physical beauty is celebrated and chased by Botox, plastic surgery, laser and herbs, it is refreshing to read and view this beautiful book which goes beyond surfaces to souls. Beginning with the cover photograph of Sir Ben Kingsley, Tenneson has photographed a large sector of men in the latter portion of the cycle of life. Her photographs are real, not manipulated, and survey all manner of men. Associated with each photograph is a tidbit of wisdom from the subject and the format is touching and warm. Appearing in this book are such disparate subjects as Robert DeNiro, Tom Brokaw, Patrick Stewart, Bill Cosby and John Kerry. But the list goes on, weaving in and out of the lives of people we know and some we should. A very tender book, respecting an increasingly large part of our population that deserves out attention. Grady Harp, November 2004
