The sunset years of Agnes Sharp / by Swann, Leonie,1975-author.; Bojang, Amy,translator.; translation of:Swann, Leonie,1975-Mord in Sunset Hall.English.;
"It has been an eventful morning for Agnes Sharp and the other inhabitants of Sunset Hall, a communal home for the old and unruly in the sleepy English countryside. Although they have had their share of issues (misplaced reading glasses, conflicting culinary tastes, mobility issues, and unruly grandsons), nothing prepares them for an unexpected visit from a police officer with some shocking news. The body of one of their neighbors was discovered earlier that morning on the lawn. The members of the house put on long faces when the officer begins asking questions, but they are secretly relieved the body in question is not the one they're currently hiding in the shed (sorry, Lillith). After holding an emergency house meeting, they decide that the answer to their little problem with Lillith may have fallen right into their lap. All they have to do is find out who murdered their neighbor, so they can pin Lillith's death on them, thus killing two (old) birds with one stone (cold killer). With their plan sorted, Agnes and her geriatric gang spring into action. After all, everybody likes a good mystery. Besides, the more suspicion they can cast about, surely the less will land on them. To investigate, they will have to leave their comfort zone and journey into the quaint village of Duck End and all around town as they tangle with sinister bakers, broken stairlifts, inept criminals, local authorities, and their own dark secrets"--

Nomadland : surviving America in the twenty-first century / by Bruder, Jessica,author.;
Includes bibliographical references.From the beet fields of North Dakota to the National Forest campgrounds of California to Amazon's CamperForce program in Texas, employers have discovered a new, low-cost labor pool, made up largely of transient older Americans. Finding that social security comes up short, often underwater on mortgages, these invisible casualties of the Great Recession have taken to the road by the tens of thousands in late-model RVs, travel trailers, and vans, forming a growing community of nomads: migrant laborers who call themselves "workampers." Bruder tells a compelling, eye-opening tale of the dark underbelly of the American economy - one that foreshadows the precarious future that may await many more of us. At the same time, she celebrates the exceptional resilience and creativity of these quintessential Americans who have given up ordinary rootedness to survive.

Symptoms like feeling lousy and looking puffy are absolutely not a given of aging. They're warning signs that you need to change your lifestyle. It's your lifestyle choices, not your genes, that have a tremendous impact on how you age, and here you'll learn how to make the best choices in order to look younger and feel better all around. Through clearly titled and easy-to-digest entries covering the new rules to know, you'll learn that "The Most Effective Antiaging Mechanism Is Eating Less" and that "Night Eating Makes You Fat"; whether "16-Hour Fasting" is worth all the hype; that "Sugar Is the Worst Food You Can Put in Your Body;" to "Sleep More and Sleep Better" and to "Eat Mushrooms for Longevity"; about "Common Meds That Shouldn't Be Common"; that "Bone Broth Heals Holes in the Gut"; and the mantra "Do No Harm." And what happens when you follow the rules? An increased health span, where you'll look great and feel energetic, happy, sexy, agile, and strong"--
