商品簡介
Several essays from the National Institute of Aging open this hefty directory, including those on Alzheimer's, sleeping, forgetfulness, hip replacement, and mourning the death of a spouse. The remainder of the book contains the directory of people and resources, divided into 12 categories: national organizations and federal agencies; state organizations and government agencies; awards, honors & prizes; continuing education; disability aids & assistive devices; resources for specific health conditions; assisted living facilities, independent living centers, legal aid resources, and libraries (each by state); publishers of works for older Americans; and travel. Glossaries of medical and legal terms are included. The entries for each person or resource lists the name of the organization, personnel, contact information, and a description of the services they provide. Three indexes are provided: by entry name, geographic area, and grouped by subject area. Annotation c2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
