Bortz, II, M.D. It discusses the main values of centenarians in American society, such as the desire to remain at home in old age. The physical and social conditions and needs of those interviewed in the book are discussed and related to the field of gerontology as a whole.
From the Paper
"Walter M. Bortz, II, M.D. wrote in his foreword, ?the first step to 100 is to believe? (qtd. in Adler vii). If what Bortz had to say is true, I would definitely fail to reach 100. I had never thought about my own aging past 30 and never considered what age I would like to try to achieve. This thinking changed after I came in contact with the wonderful centenarians in Lynn Peters Adler?s non-fiction novel, Centenarians. The upclose and personal encounters she offers helped me to open my eyes to the issues faced by the elderly and to help me consider what I want my own experience with aging to be like."
