First, the bad news for over-30 jocks: your body is more susceptible to physical breakdowns caused by exercise and athletic competition. It is weaker, fatter, less flexible, and may be showing signs of arthritis and brittle bones. So it reacts differently to injury, taking longer to heal and making reinjury more likely. Gee, thanks. The good news is that The Return to Glory Days is a guide to treating and preventing sports injuries in older athletes and helping them get back to their sports. Written by Morton Dean, TV news correspondent and lifelong jock, and Benjamin Gelfand, P.T., supervisor of the Nicholas Institute for Sports Medicine and Athletic Trauma, this book is friendly and practical. You don't even have to know what your injury is called--just look up its body part and your symptoms. Information for each injury is organized into these sections: "Pain" (where, how, and when it hurts), "Locker Room Lingo" (medical terminology and jock talk), "Inside Story" (medical description), "Risk Rating" (how dangerous or permanent), "The Game" (likely scenario that caused this injury), "First Day Treatment" (what to do immediately, additional cautions), "Return to Action" (recovery time), and "Rehab and Prevention" (specific advice and exercises). Have this book handy if you want to stay active and competitive for many decades. --Joan Price
