Used Hardcover Edition in "Like-New" Condition (only minor shelf wear on Dust Jacket edges - could pass as a New book). Book that shows age is only a state of mind, chronicling how we stack up creatively, professionally, finanically and socially to the likes of Mozart (who impressed audiences across Europe at age 6) or Tiger Woods (who shot 48 for 9 holes at age 3) or Ichijirou Araya (who climbed Mount Fuji at age 100). A fun and entertaining book that will amaze you with what people did and at what age they did it from age 1 to age 100. A book that will have you shaking your head in amazement at the feats and make you want to share it with others. The book also will confirm to you that not only do you have the whole day ahead of you but you have your whole life ahead of you as well (no matter how old you are). For instance, did you know that Frank Lloyd Wright did not complete his work on the Guggenheim Museum until he was 89 years of age and that golfer Otto Bucher scored a hole-in-one at the age of 99 years yet Mary Stuart became Queen of Scotland at the age of 1 and the legendary strongman Hercules strangled two serpents in his cradle at the age of 1. They are all there, the book is loaded with people who didn't let age be a barrier. So, what have you done today? Wrestled any serpents? Maybe shot a hole-in-one? Climbed any good mountains? Built a grand buildings? It's all just a piece of cake, right? - so get out there and go for it. Oh yea, after you read this book.
