Incredibly helpful to understanding needs of the elderly

Dr. Billig helps elucidate the myriad and complex difficulties faced by people as they approach later years. By so doing he helps fill a void of knowledge and research about the subject. In his writing, Dr. Billig is at once scientific and caring. As the baby-boomer generation becomes older, his work and this book will become of even greater signficance, both real (as it is already) and perceived. It's a must read.
