About this Item

Man against Aging by Robert S. de Ropp 1st Black Cat Edition Grove Press vintage paperback SC 1962 This book is about why we age, written in non-technical language. The science of aging (gerontology) had a slow start in the first half of the 19th century because of superstition, myth, and quack medicine and ridicule. Medical science concentrated on treating the secondary effects of aging (geriatrics). The interest in research picked up in the late half of the century when the gifted baby boomers realized they were getting old, surrounded by the marvels of technology. 'corner stub, clean, tight, paper browning as tyical".
