Review
Elegantly written and deeply researched, Aging Bones shows how osteoporosis went from being treated as an inevitable part of getting older to a pathological disease state. An account that traverses Shakespearean sonnets to hormone replacement therapy, Grob’s study contains important lessons for historians as well as for millions of women who are advised to stave off frailty through daily doses of Vitamin D, exercise, and estrogen.
(Beth Linker, University of Pennsylvania)
