In The Tradition Of Atul Gawande and Sherwin Nuland, Marc Agronin writes of life as he sees it as a doctor. His beat is a nursing home in Miami that some would dismiss as "God's waiting room."

And to be sure, nothing in the young doctor's medical training had quite prepared him for what he was to discover there. For as Agronin first learned from ninety-eight-year-old Esther, and later from countless others, the true scales of aging aren't one-sidedùyou can't list the problems without also tallying the hopes and promises.

Drawing on moving personal experiencesùthose of his patients and their families, as well as his ownùand on in-depth interviews with pioneers in the field, Agronin conjures a spellbinding look at what aging means today: how our bodies and brains change over time, and how the very way we understand aging is constantly changing.
