Summary

Aging and Senses explores the changes in sight, hearing, taste, smell, and touch as we age, revealing how these sensory shifts influence our lives. It highlights how sensory decline, often underestimated, significantly impacts our well-being and independence as we get older. Interestingly, sensory changes aren't just about physical decline; they also affect cognitive function, emotional health, and social interactions.

 
The book starts by explaining how each sense functions in early adulthood, then details specific age-related changes, such as presbycusis (age-related hearing loss) and changes in taste and smell. It argues that while some sensory decline is inevitable, lifestyle choices and interventions can make a real difference.

 
The book emphasizes that we can actively engage in maintaining our sensory health, providing evidence-based strategies like dietary recommendations, exercise, sensory training, and assistive technologies to mitigate sensory decline. It's designed for older adults, caregivers, healthcare professionals, and anyone interested in gerontology and sensory science.

    In addition to the wheelbarrow, the seismograph, the waterwheel, deep drilling, suspension bridges, and ship rudders, among countless other life-changing contraptions, the Chinese developed what were later dubbed the “Four Great Inventions of China.” Two of those were gunpowder and printing, which both spread through South Asia and the Middle East before making it to Europe.  
    For a time, gunpowder was a mere curiosity, but its destructive power and military potential would be realized quickly. The first record of a cannon in Europe comes from a manuscript written in 1326, which has an illustration showing an armored man with what looks like a slow match lighting a vase-shaped object. This crude cannon was called a pot de fer in French and vasi in Italian. While medieval engineers developed new types of cannons and explosives capable of destroying walls and castles, others were making the first handguns possible. European sources first mentioned the widespread use of handgonnes, as they were often called, in the late 14th century, precisely the time when gunpowder became cheaper.  
    	The history of printing was for ancient Asia an advancement in culture and communication, but for Europe in the 15th century, it was much more, plunging the continent into a new paradigm and aligning it for the modern world. Its importance is often overlooked, but the timeliness of the printing machine was equivalent to the invention of alphabets in antiquity and ranks up there with the digital revolution and the introduction of the internet. Put simply, it made the Renaissance possible and led to the modernization of Europe. Based on earlier Asian principles, Johannes Gutenberg’s movable type printing press propelled an industry that led to the education of the West and ultimately removed the tight grip of the Vatican from daily European life.

    A smart and sometimes counterintuitive (who cares when you go to bed?) guide that will solve listeners’ sleep anxiety once and for all! This program is read by the author.If there’s anything worse that not getting sleep, it’s lying awake with a scare-face staring at the ceiling worrying about it. Here’s Romiszewski’s—a sleep physiologist and founder of the UK’s Sleepyhead Clinics—promise: “This book is your guide to liberating yourself from the endless cycle of sleep anxiety and obsession. By the end, you’ll have regained control – not through perfection, but by letting go of the need to constantly manage your sleep. Sleep will start working for you, not as something to fear or fix, but as your natural ally. And best of all, it will no longer dominate your thoughts.”THINK LESS, SLEEP MORE is a sensible take on sleep with some counterintuitive twists to current accepted dogma, such as that we all need more sleep and that segmented sleep—aka waking up in the middle of the night—is a killer. It’s a health and wellness sigh-of-relief book: there are some readjustments to make, both mental and physical, but a key takeaway is that whatever you’re doing now is probably better than you think.Among other counterintuitive insights, Romiszewski reveals:—The importance of a consistent wake-time rather than a rigid bedtime—How to trust your body’s natural sleep drive and rhythms—That ‘bad’ nights neither ruin the next day, nor, necessarily, your health, and that variability is normal—That sleep isn’t fragile—it’s adaptable, resilient, and smarter than any hack you could throw at it—The myth of eight hours—The power of lightFor an audience who found Matthew Walker’s Why We Sleep a bit daunting, Romiszewski’s is the sensible, seasoned, calming voice you want to think of a 3 a.m.A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin’s Press Essentials
