Über diesen Titel
Bloomsbury presents Ageless written and read by Andrew Steele.
'A stunner ... If you haven't got this book in your house, I don't know why' Chris Evans
'A startling wake-up call . . . Writing with the vim of a Bill Bryson and the technical knowledge of a scientist, Steele gives us a chance to grasp what's at stake' Independent
'An exhilarating journey . . . Steele is a superb guide' Telegraph
'A fascinating read with almost every page bursting with extraordinary facts . . . Read it now' Mail on Sunday
Ageless is a guide to the biggest issue we all face. Ageing – not cancer, not heart disease – is the world's leading cause of death and suffering. What would the world be like if we could cure it?
Living disease-free until the age of 100 is achievable within our lifetimes. In prose that is lucid and full of fascinating facts, Ageless introduces us to the cutting-edge research that is paving the way for this revolution. Computational biologist Andrew Steele explains what occurs biologically as we age, as well as practical ways we can slow down the process. He reveals how understanding the scientific implications of ageing could lead to the greatest discovery in the history of civilization – one that has the potential to improve billions of lives, save trillions of dollars, and transform the human condition.

Kritikerstimmen
"An absolute tour de force." (Aubrey de Grey, chief science officer, SENS Research Foundation)
"An immensely important book." (Professor Lewis Dartnell, author of Origins)
"This is an essential book for anyone interested in the fast-developing science of longevity." (Jim Mellon, chairman of Juvenescence)
Will be changing careers after this, which is quite a feat for any book to pull off.
The best book on longevity yet.

Therefore this book gives a good overview of the currently 10 known hallmarks of aging and how they work, and how in the not to far future we can hopefully change it to the better for our species and for ourselves. Because the chance that you and i will suffer from cancer, alzheimers or something else age related is overwhelmingly high.
I would suggest to read about it and then talk to friends who never considered the possiblities of slowing or even reversing the aging process.
An important read or in this case hear

Based on an evolutionary perspectives on ageing and a comparison between species, the author argues that ageing is not inevitable. As a trained physicists, he then focuses on the key molecular hallmarks of ageing - and how they could be targeted by modern medicine. Given recent promising advances, he urges for more funding for biogerontology, the field concerned with the biological basis of ageing, and for more clinical trials as people already self-medicate - with all the possible harmful outcomes without the benefit of learning achieved by clinical studies.
Excellent book on the mechanisms of ageing
