El. knyga: How We Age: The Science of Longevity

"Finalist for the PROSE Award in Biological Sciences, Association of American Publishers" "Murphy has gathered a huge amount of research material on longevity, giving the book a tone of meticulous authority" * Kirkus Reviews * "[ An] informative deep dive into the research behind living longer and the aging process."---Tom Wilk, New Jersey Monthly "Meticulous. . . . [ Murphy's] sweep is vast as she discourses on diet, exercise, insulin signaling and the genes that affect longevity. In her final, superb chapters, she takes on the associations between the human microbiome and cognitive deterioration, wrapping up with a look ahead to emerging drug therapies."---Hamilton Cain, Wall Street Journal "In How We Age, geneticist Coleen Murphy provides no silver bullets for remaining youthful. Rather, she offers a scholarly account of the state of ageing research that is both lively and personal. She also gives real insight into the ups and downs of leading a research laboratory. . . . How We Age will be particularly useful to researchers, but it should also appeal to general readers who want to know what it took to arrive at the current understanding of ageingand the prospects of undergoing it in better shape."---Linda Partridge, Nature "A lucid and detailed overview of the field."---Stephen Cave, Financial Times "Interesting reading on the state of reductionist gerontology. . . . Since the author is a leading nematode gerontologist, her views on the rest of the field of reductionist gerontology are well worth reading."---Michael R.. Rose, The Quarterly Review of Biology "Recommended."---J. Clawson, Choice
