Zusammenfassung:	Reviews the book, Chasing dragonflies: Life and care in aging by Lauren Smerglia Seifert (see record 2007-17942-000). This book joins large bodies of work that advocate for person-centered care for those with memory problems (e.g., Kitwood, 1997) and for breaking aging-related myths for the entire population of the aging (e.g., Rowe & Kahn, 1998). The book is well-suited for resident activity directors, family caregivers, lay caregivers and/or undergraduate students, and the reviewer believes the book would be an extremely helpful resource in promoting quality care for the aging.
