HEALTH~Physical fitness can slow the deterioration of both mind and body, but most fitness titles are aimed at the young. Here, orthopedic surgeon Wright outlines a plan for maintaining flexibility, balance, strength, and cardiovascular health in a clear, nonpatronizing style that will appeal to readers of all ages. There are good sections on avoiding and dealing with injury, as well as exercise routines and a generalized eating plan. Very well done, especially for the 40-plus set..
