Reviews
The Quest for Human Longevity , which describes, in great detail, the importance of money in the entrepreneurial business of life-extension and antiaging research. In the view of the author, Lewis D. Solomon, financial incentives often drive scientific innovations in antiaging studies by stimulating researchers to take risks and work hard.
