| Abstract
|
:
|
Until recently (when the Baby Boomers came on the scene), scientists have neglected the topic of passionate love and sexual desire in older folks. In this delightful, personal book--filled with up-to-date social psychological research--Dr. Barusch provides a much needed remedy for that omission. - Back cover.
