NPR reviewed Nuland's book this week and that is always a good sign. They also discussed a book about the "placidity" of the brain about two weeks ago that applies to Boomers. I am sorry, but I forget the author's name. It was on the Science Friday section so it should be easy to find. I ordered a copy, but it has not arrived. The theme of the book is that the brain continues to improve until death.
Robin, thank you very much for buying Louisa. I have written a Teachers' Resource Book to accompany the book. My publisher will publish the Resource Book, if Louisa goes paperback. If you would like to to use the material, I will send you a draft of the book as a Word Doc. In return, I would appreciate notification of mistakes or any new additions you might suggest.
Regards,Richard Emmel thankful that someone responded on this quiet, but powerful list

Richard et all,I am looking for a book to read to my grade 6 advisees...our MS literary magazine was always called Phyllis (after Physllis Wheatly about whom, it is my understanding, Richard's book is loosely based) - so it should be a good fit. Nice find for me. Also, Shervin Nuland (author of The Way we Die ) has a new book called The Art of Aging that in essence, according to an interview, promotes 3 practices: Stay connectedStay physically active Stay creativeNo big surprises, but Senior Tech seems a good place to hit 2 out of 3.

Also, I keep sending Email to the "bounce" address, so I have not sent what I thought I sent to this group. My first book was published in January.

I think you would enjoy the story, but it is also a great book for reluctant learners. Regards, Richard Emmel hoping this third try at unabashed promotion works
