'I find that old age has been a fulfilment of everything that has gone before...' With these words, Professor Clifford, himself an octogenarian who has had to come to terms with the problems of infirmity and the prospect of death, sets out the grounds for a positive approach to life in old age.

For all who contemplate old age with mixed emotions, this personal reflection on its significance is an encouraging read by a distinguished academic and clergyman.
