Informed by more than thirty years of experience, this guide
provides a wealth of insight into the clinical observation,
diagnosis and treatment of elderly patients. Organized
geographically from (literally) head to toes, it concentrates on
the basic geriatric physical examination with each chapter
providing general information as well as helpful approaches to
specific regional complaints. Emphasis is placed on assisting the
dedicated clinician in becoming a more perceptive observer of
elderly patients with honed skills in geriatric bedside diagnostic
evaluation. The text also includes historical vignettes and
anecdotes of great physical diagnosticians to demonstrate the
evolution of clinical skills. Tables and line drawings complement
the text.

In the past century, average life expectancies have nearly doubled,
and today, for the first time in human history, many people have a
realistic chance of living to eighty or beyond. As life expectancy
increases, Americans need accurate, scientifically grounded
information so that they can take full responsibility for their own
later years. In The Art and Science of Aging Well, Mark E.
Williams, M.D., discusses the remarkable advances that medical
science has made in the field of aging and the steps that people
may take to enhance their lives as they age. Through his own
observations and by use of the most current medical research,
Williams offers practical advice to help aging readers and those
who care for them enjoy personal growth and approach aging with
optimism and even joy. The Art and Science of Aging Well gives a
realistic portrait of how aging occurs and provides important
advice for self-improvement and philosophical, spiritual, and
conscious evolution. Williams argues that we have considerable
choice in determining the quality of our own old age. Refuting the
perspective of aging that insists that personal, social, economic,
and health care declines are persistent and inevitable, he takes a
more holistic approach, revealing the multiple facets of old age.
Williams provides the resources for a happy and productive later
life.
