Extract

Cognitive Reserve: Theory and Applications. Yaakov Stern (Ed.). 2007. New York: Taylor and Francis, 344 pp., $99.00 (HB).

Successful aging has been on my mind more and more these days. Time flows forward and I am now reasonably certain that I'm not getting any younger. Thankfully, cognitive reserve (CR) gives me a reason to be hopeful: although I never made it to the Boston Symphony Orchestra or the Olympic medals platform, perhaps all those French horn lessons and 6 am swim-team practices will ultimately pay off.
