How we age
29.99 €
Our media is overflowing with discussions about aging: how to slow it down, or even prevent it altogether, how long human life can be extended, whether we can achieve immortality, and so on. You'll find everything from scientifically sound practical advice to science-fiction hypotheses—but how can you determine what's truly scientific? Biologist Colleen Murphy, who teaches at Princeton University and studies aging in her lab, felt it necessary to honestly describe the current state of affairs. She details how scientists are exploring ways to extend life and improve its quality, the directions of research, and how to interpret their results. Conscientious fundamental science never provides easy answers, but it allows us to look at the questions that concern us realistically—without rose-colored glasses, but with a healthy dose of optimism.
