| Annotation | Dramatic increases in life expectancy are shaking the structure of societies around the world and profoundly altering our perceptions of life and death. Not only are we living longer, but the evidence of recent decades shows that old age is itself being transformed. In addition to the text of the five Reith Lectures, broadcast by the author on BBC Radio 4 in 2001, this book includes a detailed discussion on ageing as depicted in the British press, and 'Miranda's tale', a short story which examines the implications of a world without age.
