Story
In Losing It, William Ian Miller brings his inimitable wit and learning to the subject of growing old: too old to matter, of either rightly losing your confidence or wrongly maintaining it, culpably refusing to face the fact that you are losing it. The "it" in Miller's "losing it" refers mainly to mental faculties - memory, processing speed, sensory acuity, the capacity to focus. But it includes other evidence as wel l- sags and flaccidities, aches and pains, failing joints and organs. What are we to make of these tell-tale signs?

Story
Embracing Age: How Catholic Nuns Became Models of Aging Well examines a community of individuals whose aging trajectories contrast mainstream American experiences. In mainstream American society, aging is presented as a “problem”, a state to be avoided as long as possible, a state that threatens one’s ability to maintain independence, autonomy, control over one’s surroundings. Aging “well” (or avoiding aging) has become a 21st-century American preoccupation.

Story
Die Periode ist politisch – ihr Ausbleiben aber auch. Als Miriam Stein von Hitzewallungen, Schlafstörungen und weiteren unangenehmen Vorboten der Menopause überrascht wird, erkundet sie die ihr von der patriarchalen Gesellschaft zugedachte Stellung neu. Leicht gereizt stellt sie fest: Die sogenannten Wechseljahre sind das letzte Tabu der Frauengesundheit. Bis zum heutigen Tag bestimmen Mythen und Fehlinformationen den Diskurs: Das Klimakterium erscheint als peinliche Hormonmangel-Krankheit. Der unfruchtbar – und somit unattraktiv – gewordenen Frau wird geraten, sich neu zu erfinden.

Story
Overtime offers a current, revelatory corrective to our understanding of the future of the American workforce and aging. Experts across economics, sociology, psychology, political science, and epidemiology examine how increasing economic and social inequalities, coupled with changes across generations or birth cohorts, call for a rethinking of the working-longer policy framework. Together, they argue that policies affecting work must be considered alongside policies affecting retirement and provide a path forward to achieve better retirement security for all Americans.
