| Abstract
|
:
|
This volume addresses issues of the Third Age -- that time after retirement when financial stability and reduced obligations to others, together, allow for freedom -- and good health makes it possible to enjoy that freedom. This title aims to answer questions such as: how, in this special time of life, is meaning and purpose to be found?
