In the age of Viagra, the term "act your age" is taking on a whole new meaning. The sixties are the new forties, and it's no longer about just surviving. It's all about thriving. As a historic herd of baby boomers turns 60 this year, award-winning photographer Bob Elsdale offers interesting sources of inspiration in Gray Matter: Why It's Good to Be Old!

Merging his creativity and photographic talent with advanced technology, Elsdale captures playful pachyderms displaying incredible "geriantics" beyond belief. Elephants, like humans, can live to a ripe old age, but when it comes to fun, they don't let a few wrinkles stand in their way of a good time. Ever seen an elephant surfing? How about hang gliding? Along with amazing images such as these, this book offers wry reminders that there are lots of advantages to getting older and endless opportunities to enjoy them.

Combining wisdom with whimsy, Gray Matter proves that to grow old gracefully, it's important to keep a twinkle in your wrinkle. To stay young at heart, remember that it's not the body that counts. It's the gray matter that matters.
