A June Book Sense Pick: “This is one of the most important—and
readable—books written about the price of freedom in a democracy. Do
we want to pay for our freedom and security with our free speech? Timely and
urgent, this is an essential book for citizens, politicians, and government
officials to read and embrace.” —Alicia Greene, Olsson's Books &
Records, Washington, DC

60 on Up,
Lillian B. Rubin, cloth, September 2007, $23.95, 978-0-8070-2928-2
“Once upon a time we had rites of passage to ease our way from adulthood
into old age. Now we have Lillian Rubin. 60 on Up is everything most
books on aging are not. It is not sentimental, not filled with stale advice
to keep busy, avoid calories, and think young. Instead, it offers authentic
wisdom about the complexities of aging. Its fiercely realistic but tender
explorations are strangely comforting because they relieve us of the burden
of denial and give us a vision of facing our later years with dignity and
courage. It is a wonderful book, filled with the poignant beauty of all transient
life.” —Sam Keen, author of Fire in the Belly and other works…
“Fiercely honest, bracing yet compassionate, 60 on Up begins a national
conversation that has been waiting to happen. We Baby Boomers NEED this book!”
—Michael Kimmel, Professor of Sociology, SUNY, author of Manhood in
America
