Review

Americans over 50 have more to deal with than just wrinkles and mortality. There are serious legal issues concerning health, work, home, and family. Concise information is what's needed, and what's provided by the American Bar. From age discrimination in employment to disability rights, Medicare benefits to estate planning, it's getting less easy all the time to age with a modicum of awareness and understanding. Reading up on these issues is less appealing than picking daisies, but it doesn't have to be drudgery. It's a good idea to keep on your shelf a book with smart, clear explanations of all the issues you've been avoiding, so when you need to know about retirement or survivor benefits, want health insurance counseling, or are curious about grandparents' visitation rights, there'll be no excuse not to find out. --Stephanie Gold
