Robert Bersson and Jack Greer are the editors of the new book Better with Age: Creativity, Discovery & Surprise, a compilation of essays and reflections about experiences with aging. Bersson is an emeritus professor at James Madison University and Greer worked for many years at the University of Maryland's Sea Grant College.
A lively collection of twenty-seven essays, three poems, and a song, all exploring how to make things new as we move through our later years. We hear from those in their sixties, seventies, eighties, and nineties who've tackled social causes or physical exploits or artistic pursuits. Some essays share lessons learned from a lifetime. Others describe the energy or nerve required to launch into some new adventure late in life, or to revive a youthful talent long abandoned or ignored. All these stories suggest how some endeavors — or insights or encounters — can be better with age.
