Synopsis

This book explores the subject of age, growth, and death from a scientific perspective. The author, a respected scientist, argues that the conventional wisdom of the aging process is flawed, and that the period of old age is actually one of the slowest periods of decline in a person's life. This book examines physiological changes that occur across the lifespan, including the musculoskeletal system, digestive system, and brain. The author presents case studies, data, and novel theories to support the notion that the human body is capable of vast adaptation, resilience, and rejuvenation. This book will appeal to general readers with an interest in the human body, the aging process, and the latest theories on the nature of life itself.
