Описание: A startling chronicle by a brilliant young scientist takes us to the frontiers of the science of aging, and reveals how close we are to an astonishing extension of our life spans and a vastly improved quality of life in our later years. Aging--not cancer, not heart disease--is the true underlying cause of most human death and suffering. We accept as inevitable that as we advance in years our bodies and minds begin to deteriorate and that we are ever more likely to be felled by dementia or disease. But we never really ask: Is aging necessary? Biologists, on the other hand, have been investigating that question for years. After all, there are tortoises and salamanders whose risk of dying is the same no matter how old they are. With the help of science, could humans find a way to become old without getting frail, a phenomenon known as "biological immortality"? In Ageless, Andrew Steele, a computational biologist and science writer, takes us on a journey through the laboratories where scientists are studying every bodily system that declines with age--DNA, mitochondria, stem cells, our immune systems--and developing therapies to reverse the trend. With clarity and intellectual passion, Steele shines a spotlight on a little-known revolution already under way.

Описание: A startling chronicle by a brilliant young scientist takes us onto the frontiers of the science of aging, and reveals how close we are to an astonishing extension of our lifespans and a vastly improved quality of life in our later years. Aging--not cancer, not heart disease--is the world's leading cause of death and suffering. We accept as inevitable that as we advance in years our bodies and minds begin to deteriorate and we are more and more likely to be felled by dementia or disease. But we never really question--is it necessary? Biologists, on the other hand, have been investigating for years, wondering if the decline of our bodies is truly unavoidable. After all, there are already tortoises and salamanders whose risk of dying is the same as long as they live. With the help of science, could humans find a way to become old without getting elderly, a phenomenon otherwise known as "biological immortality"? In Ageless, Andrew Steele, research fellow at Britain's new and largest biomedical laboratory, the Francis Crick Institute, shows us that the answer lies at the cellular level. He takes us on a journey through the laboratories where scientists are studying every aspect of the cell--DNA, mitochondria, stem cells, our immune systems, even age-genes that can lead to a ten-fold increase in life span (in worms, anyway)--all in an effort to forestall or reverse the body's (currently ) inevitable decline. With bell-clear writing and intellectual passion, Steele shines a spotlight on a revolution already underway and offers reality-based hope.

Описание: Kalman J. Kaplan and Paul Cantz offer a biblically-based approach to suicide prevention, designed to overcome suicidogenic patterns in fourteen patients fitting into seven Graeco-Roman suicidal syndromes. Kaplan and Cantz use biblical narratives alongside an in-depth positive psychology, aimed at promoting life instead of simply preventing suicide.
