520    "Never in human history have there been so many people 
       entering old age -- roughly one-third of whom will 
       experience some form of neurodegeneration as they age. 
       This seismic demographic shift will force us all to 
       rethink how we live and deal with our aging population. 
       Susan H. McFadden and John T. McFadden propose a radical 
       reconstruction of our societal understanding of old age. 
       Rather than categorize elders based on their respective 
       cognitive consciousness, the McFaddens contend that the 
       only humanistic, supportive, and realistic approach is to 
       find new ways to honor and recognize the dignity, worth, 
       and personhood of those journeying into dementia. Doing so,
       they argue, counters the common view of dementia as a 
       personal tragedy shared only by close family members and 
       replaces it with the understanding that we are all living 
       with dementia as the baby boomers age, early screening 
       becomes more common, and a cure remains elusive. The 
       McFaddens' inclusive vision calls for social institutions,
       especially faith communities, to search out and build 
       supportive, ongoing friendships that offer hospitality to 
       all persons, regardless of cognitive status. Drawing on 
       medicine, social science, philosophy, and religion to 
       provide a broad perspective on aging, Aging Together 
       offers a vision of relationships filled with love, joy, 
       and hope in the face of a condition that all too often 
       elicits anxiety, hopelessness, and despair"--Provided by
