She introduces a lot of medical concepts that may take a bit of effort for the average reader to wrap their heads around. Anca sets out to try and bring the process of aging into a bit clearer focus, and though it is not written solely for academia, it is also not something you can read in an hour. It is very well written, with great examples, case studies and references to validate her positions. This is the second book I have read from Anca Ioviţă and I love it. I tried to instill life in a topic that is hugely important for the extension of human lifespan. The amount of data I had to browse in order to keep the essential patterns is huge.
This book could not have existed if green tea, libraries and the Internet were not invented. Aging research is too important to hide it behind the closed doors of formal scientific jargon. What are the mechanisms underlying the aging gap between species? I intentionally chose to write the answer to this question in plain English. This book is my attempt at doing just that. I wanted to expose the aging gap between species in an easy-to-follow and logical sequence. I wanted to see the forest among the trees. This is the reason for which I studied countless information resources in an attempt to gather highly specialized research into one easy-to-follow book. Who has time to study species that live for decades?īut lifespan differences among species are magnitudes of order larger than any lifespan variation achieved in the lab. What all these species have in common is their fast aging. This process is traditionally studied in a couple of biological models like fruit flies, worms and mice.
