The future of the science of aging
Details
The recent new book by Dr Andrew Steele, "Ageless: The new science of getting older without getting old" has been widely praised. Here is some sample feedback:
"Ageless is an outstanding, totally accessible exposition of why aging can and should be understood as a medical problem, and of how the world’s leading medical researchers are solving it. An absolute tour de force, it will surely save many lives by inspiring new recruits to join this crusade."
-- Dr Aubrey de Grey, Chief Science Officer, SENS Research Foundation
"Ageless is a fascinating, stimulating and pleasingly practical guide to the science of aging and how we might be able to bend the arrow of biological time to improve our health."
-- Dr Kat Arney, author of Rebel Cell: Cancer, Evolution and the Science of Life
"Few issues can be more important for our future than ensuring we age as well as possible. Ageless explains the extraordinary achievements and promise of current scientific research around longevity. Read it and prepare to think differently about your future."
-- Prof Andrew Scott, Professor of Economics, London Business School and co-author of The 100-Year Life
"In his book Ageless, Andrew Steele describes how the field of aging biology moved from hope to promise. This is a masterful roadmap for interested lay people, scientists at large and also geroscientists like myself—I was surprised how much I learned."
-- Dr Nir Barzilai, founding director of the Institute for Aging Research at Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University
"This is an essential book for anyone interested in the fast-developing science of longevity."
-- Jim Mellon, Chairman of Juvenescence
"An immensely important book. Steele surveys the biology of human ageing, as well as the cutting-edge research on how to prevent it. The first person to achieve immortality may already have been born. Is it you?!"
-- Prof Lewis Dartnell, author of Origins
