Reviews
I strongly recommend the book to researchers, students, and other readers interested in longevity and aging... Both the experimental findings and the theoretical discussions in this book are new and important contributions to our understanding of life span. --Shiro Horiuchi, Population and Development Review This book definitively announces a scientific revolution in our understanding of life history, aging, demography, and kindred subjects... Longevity is one of those rare scientific books that has something both important and new to say. --Michael R. Rose, Bioscience Not only a fascinating tour of a major research initiative, but also an informative record of how science actually works. I read it with growing interest as the questions and problems unfolded with each new chapter. --John Speakman, Biologist
