Review # 1 was written on 2016-10-10 00:00:00 Chet Hurley This book is a bold attempt, but likely of limited use to the experienced field researcher. The title might be an exaggeration, since most of the chapters are about research in contexts that aren't really that dangerous.

Review # 2 was written on 2015-06-09 00:00:00 Ewelina Swiderska Written when she was 55 (she is now 76)Letty Cottin Pogrebin does a great job in discussing aging from a female perspective. She articulates her observations and analysis very well and begins to provide the blueprint for what we are seeing now for women over 60, 70 and 80. Times they are a changing and baby boomers are setting the scene for future generations. The balance between acceptance on the one hand (aging is inevitable and it will be a downward spiral) with resistance on the other (there are lots of things we can do, including adopting the right attitude, to make our later years ones in which we remain vibrant and experience life through a different lens). "The real issue is not how much extra time one has, but how one spends and values it."
