AGING IN AMERICA: THE YEARS AHEAD
A book by Julie Winokur and Ed Kashi
powerHouse Books, 2003
256 pages, illustrated

Aging in America: The Years Ahead chronicles the unprecedented changes confronting America as old age goes mainstream. Photographer Ed Kashi and writer Julie Winokur first began this project as an award-winning story published by The New York Times Magazine. Then they began covering a broad span of issues, from the upsurge of elderly immigrants following their children to America to the overwhelming toll a tornado exacted on a rural elderly community. They traveled with the Loners of America, an RV club for mature singles, and delved into a retirement community where Alzheimer's patients work in a child daycare facility. They tracked the campaign of a 76-year-old politician running for office for the first time, followed a woman launching her modeling career in her 60's, and celebrated the wedding of a couple of octogenarians.
