Читать книгу Live Better, Live Longer - Philip Selby - Страница 3

This book is essentially a new edition of A Guide to Successful Aging: preparing, coping, and caring, by Philip Selby and Adrian Griffiths. The original work was published in English, German, Spanish, French, and Japanese, with total sales of over 50,000 copies.

The success of A Guide to Successful Aging encouraged the book’s principal author, some years after it first appeared, to produce this new edition. The original work has been revised, the text has been clarified where necessary, and new material has been added, notably chapters on memory problems and on the menopause.

The new book has been enriched with original drawings by Peter Davies.

The author acknowledges the valuable contribution to the first edition by Adrian Griffiths, who made many helpful suggestions and was mainly responsible for the chapter on Money. He also thanks the International Health Foundation, which commissioned the original work, for granting him the copyright, thereby enabling him to produce this new edition. The author gives special thanks to Professor Jean-Pierre Michel, director of the geriatric hospital in Geneva, who reviewed the entire manuscript of the French edition, published in 2003, and made many helpful suggestions for bringing the book up to date.
