Book excerpt: The Vintage Years refers to this time in life, when according to Francine Toder, Ph.D. whose research into the factors that increase brain, body and psychological fitness, tells us that our health and our lives can be supercharged through the fine arts. Recent discoveries in neuroscience confirm that the brain, even beyond age sixty, if it’s fed a diet of complexity, newness and problem solving can flower and bloom. Engaging in fine arts addresses all three factors. Whether writing short stories, learning to play music, or painting landscapes—which are only a few among the many fine arts options—the brain benefits and continues to develop. Ironically, natural changes in brain and hormonal functioning beyond sixty actually facilitates mastery of the fine arts in ways not available to younger people. Dr. Toder’s new book, The Vintage Years: Finding Your Inner Artist (Writer, Musician, Visual Artist) After Sixty (285 pages, hard cover) explains these new findings in neuroscience while also glancing into the lives of more than twenty late-blooming artists who first took up the violin, memoir writing, or other artistic pursuits after they turned sixty. While some were motivated by curiosity, others desired to realize a previously unmet dream. Their stories inspire and validate Toder’s research. The book includes bibliographical references and index. Francine Toder, Ph.D., is an emeritus faculty member of California State University Sacramento and is a clinical psychologist recently retired from private practice. She is also the author of When Your Child Is Gone: Learning to Live Again (Ballantine, 1986) and Your Kids Are Grown: Moving On With and Without Them (Plenum Press, 1996) both critically acclaimed. Her extensive writing on diverse topics has appeared in magazines, professional journals, and edited-book chapters. She resides with her husband in the San Francisco area where she practices the cello daily.

Download or read book Behind the Scenes in the Vintage Years written by “Torrens” Arthur Bourne and published by Troubador Publishing Ltd. This book was released on 2016-12-05 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Arthur Bourne was at the centre of British motorcycling from 1923-1951. This is his fascinating story. Back in the 1920s, there were more motor cyclists than car drivers, records were being broken every month at the Brooklands race track in Surrey, roads were empty and motorbikes constantly broke down. Arthur Bourne, who used the pseudonym ‘Torrens’ for readers of the best-selling weekly The Motor Cycle, was in the thick of the game. He had the good luck to be Engineer to The Auto-Cycle Union and the-then, not yet 26, editor of a famous motorcycling journal. This is his story of what it was like to ride hundreds of miles round Britain on reliability trials – essential for manufacturers to claim that their bikes were worth buying – and how he provided weekly guidance for thousands of youngsters on two wheels. He writes of Brooklands, and of TT races on the lsle of Man; of his encouragement to young engineers like Edward Turner and Phil Vincent; and of how, in the Second World War, he enabled the airborne forces at Arnhem to be equipped with lightweight motorcycles that could be dropped by parachute or flown in by glider. For anyone interested in motorbikes and the people who rode them, when British manufacturing was at its apogee, this is a unique testimony. Motor cycles were fashionable. The Duke of York, later to be George V1 and his wife Elizabeth, later known as Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother, were among the enthusiasts. lt was an exciting era, recalled by ‘Torrens’ near the end of his life, in a good journalist’s prose. Behind the Scenes in the Vintage Years is a unique and fascinating record of an unrepeatable era in British motorcycling and engineering history. It contains many black and white pictures which bring this area of the past to life.
