Wherever possible the articles have been brought up to date..."

"Most of the contributors are well known in their respective fields and continue to do important needed research. More and more the spotlight is on health promotion, prevention of illness and maintenance of well-being. All over the world more people are living beyond 65 years, and the number of those over 85 is rising the most rapidly. Coping with the increasing financial and social burdens of the ever-growing over-65 population requires that the results of current research on exercise and aging continue to become available as new knowledge is produced. That is the value of the series. Publication of the results in these volumes gives researchers, practitioners, physical educators, therapists, physicians and others a baseline of knowledge upon which to build."

Outstanding researchers, theorists and practitioners present recent new information in Prevention and Human Aging: Research, Theory and Practice. Vol 1 of the series- Lifelong Health and Fitness.

The multidisciplinary volume brings new meaning to "prevention and health" not only in the prevention of disease but in relation to "holistic" health. Objectives are to expand the dimensions of prevention to stimulate new thoughts about improving one's own life and the lives of older people, and to encourage individual responsibility for physical and mental health and quality of life.

The book redefines the way we look at prevention, beyond just the medical aspect, to a view of the total person!

Readers are challenged to alter their present beliefs, feelings, motivations, and habits to live life well and with quality.

Research: Current scientific research suggests strategies to manage and improve the quality of one's life.

Theory: Presents moral and ethical questions arising from living longer, and suggests new ways to enlist the human spirit to enhance wellness and prevent disease.

Practice: Describes practical medical, rehabilitative and environmental techniques that can help individuals to take responsibility for improving their health and adding meaning to their lives. ISBN 0-937829-11-0 (cloth) pp.285  $39.95
