Life After Ninety examines old age stereotypes and presents a unique picture of the health, quality of life, and social circumstances of the very old.

In Life After Ninety Micheal Bury and Anthea Holme have surveyed and interviewed 200 individuals, living at home and in institutions, to examine old age stereotypes and present a unique picture of the health, quality of life, and social circumstances of the very old. Longevity and the factors which promote it are also discussed, and throughout the book the concept of the 'life course' is employed, which brings together the biographical experiences of individuals, and the changing historical circumstances of the twentieth century, through which they have lived.

Professor Michael Bury (Royal Holloway University of London UK), Anthea Holme (Author), Margot Jefferies
