New Works: Books of Interests

Over the past few weeks I have come across and started reading what I believe two seminal works in the field of disability and aging and the intersection between the private and public sectors. The first is Bill Novelli's "50+ : Igniting A Revolution to Reinvent America" Novelli is the CEO of AARP and has some very poignant things to say about this demographic and how they are and will be redefining healthcare policy, work, retirement and the notion of community. The second, and my recent discovery is Charles Riley's book " Disability & Business: Best Practices and Strategies for Inclusion". Riley is professor of Business Journalism at the City University of New York. Each should be an interesting read and provide hopefully some new insight into much of what I discuss on this blog. Over the course of the next few weeks I will provide a more in depth analysis of my thoughts of each book and maybe even expound on some of their ideas.

I must admit it is good to know that suddenly the world is beginning to catch up to the needs of this community and see the value and importance in tackling these very issues.

having deviated a bit from the qustions I wanted to begin to explore at the end of the last blog I will return to those thoughts very shortly.
