THE book to have as a reference for those who work with older adults, Aug 4 2008
By Bethany Schultz - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Health Promotion and Aging: Practical Applications for Health Professionals (Hardcover)
This is a massive book but an easy read filled with the latest research and personal experience with older adults. This is the perfect reference shelf item for anyone who works with older adults. The humor injected throughout makes this an easy read and Dr. Haber, a truly gifted writer, sets a very relaxed and comfortable tone that isn't filled with medical jargon. This is THE book doctors should read before seeing older patients.

It was two days late and more marked up than I had thought it would be. Other than that it was okay.
