The handbook is divided into three sections: Part I is a jaunt through accessible travel pleasures and pitfalls in several parts of the world; Part II addresses the adaptation people who love a handicapped or aging person could make in order to have a lighter, more mutually rewarding relationship with him or her, as well as advice for physically challenged and aging persons themselves regarding self-care, exercise, pain management, healthcare, and more; and Part III discusses the challenges, rewards and logistics of engaging with groups of people who share similar issues. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAccessible and wryly funny, \u003ci\u003eNo Spring Chicken\u003c\/i\u003e is a fun and informative guide to living your best and longest life--whatever your physical challenges, and whatever your age. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrancine Falk-Allen was born in Los Angeles and has lived nearly all of her life in northern California.
