Aging Angry
Fear of anger can ultimately be as destructive as expressed rage, fomenting social isolation, injustice, and misunderstanding. In Aging Angry: Making Peace with Rage, Amanda Smith Barusch argues that now, more than ever, it is time for older adults to turn toward anger rather than denying or avoiding it. By taking anger seriously, we can neutralize its destructive potential and harness its energy and wisdom for personal and social change. Barusch draws upon the experiences of hundreds of older adults and a wealth of literary and academic sources to empower readers with new understanding of anger's sources, dynamics, and possibilities. Topics range from anger and race in the United States to mass violence committed by older adults to aged activists who have changed our world. In rich and insightful prose, accompanied throughout by powerful case studies, Aging Angry forcefully demonstrates that anger--and even rage--can be transformative.

Caroline
The year was 1960. The place, Paris. They met by chance on the street in front of the small hotel where they both had taken lodging-the author, an American newspaperman; and a pretty girl with light brown hair cropped short, unruly. Her voice was low pitched, her accent unmistakably English but modulated, restrained, an echo of class, though not of the working class. In profile the sharp line of her jaw tipped upward and her forehead, high and straight, offered a classical image of startling beauty and febrile intensity. Her name was Caroline. For whatever reasons, or for no particular reason at all unless escape from unpleasantness and tedium was a reason, she and the author had drifted into this ancient city. Paris then was magic. Paris was that almost mythical idyll of youth and freedom, and Paris had seduced and bewitched them. Thus begins Alan Littell's memoir of the early years of the girl he one day would marry, from her birth as a British colonial in Cairo in 1939 to their life together in the Europe, England and America of the 1960s.
