Experts have made a state-of-the-art survey of sources that are important in counseling older persons, an increasingly important segment of the nation's population. The population over age 65 in the United States is 12.4% and soon will be 21.8%. This annotated compilation of 481 books, journal articles, dissertations, and documents is organized into nine topical chapters and various subsections dealing with the normative experiences of aging, persons with impairments, needs and services, special situations, counseling and counselors, ethics, practica and internships, and pharmacology. Author and subject indexes make the guide easy for academic and professional use in the fields of gerontology, psychology, and adult education.

Artspace critic Dave Hickey once identified the Fort Worth Circle as ""Texas' first indigenous group of consciously cosmopolitan and irrefutably modern artists."" Their work, he wrote, ""represents the fruit of a special time in the culture of the western United States.""This book chronicles the Circle's distinctive output during the 1940s, the decade of their genesis and greatest innovation. These ""genuine citizens of the world,"" as Hickey called them, possessed an unconventional vision that radically sidestepped the traditional art of post-Depression Texas. Drawing from their own fertile imaginations, the members of the Circle responded to modern art by creating a unique aesthetic based on contemporary surrealism and abstraction.Published by the Amon Carter Museum to coincide with an exhibition by the same title, ""Intimate Modernism: Fort Worth Circle Artists in the 1940s"" is a ""must have"" for any library of American modernism and the art of Texas.The catalogue also includes succinct biographies, accompanied by photographs, of each of the eleven artists of the Fort Worth Circle; a bibliography; exhibition checklist; and brief foreword.
