This is thoughtful narrative nonfiction about ageing, medicine and how culture shapes the way we treat older people—and ourselves.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"cs3388614\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"cs95B300B\"\u003e\u003co:p\u003e \u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"cs3388614\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"cs95B300B\"\u003eDrawing on decades of clinical practice, along with history, science, literature and personal reflection, Aronson challenges the idea that later life is simply decline. Instead, she maps the everyday realities of elderhood: its humour and tenderness, its hard edges, and the ways healthcare can both help and harm when it treats age like a diagnosis.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"cs3388614\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"cs95B300B\"\u003e\u003co:p\u003e \u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"cs3388614\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"cs95B300B\"\u003ePerfect for readers of medical humanities, social commentary and anyone navigating family caregiving, retirement, or their own future—with curiosity rather than dread.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"cs3388614\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"cs95B300B\"\u003e\u003co:p\u003e \u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"cs3388614\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"cs95B300B\"\u003eAdd it to your shelf and see ageing with clearer eyes and more generous language.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dear Village","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52038118113556,"sku":"9781620405475","price":27.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/6460\/0596\/files\/9781620405475_1.jpg?v=1772698121","url":"https:\/\/dearvillage.com.au\/products\/elderhood-redefining-aging-transforming-medicine-reimagining-life","provider":"Dear Village","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
