Aubrey de Grey is a learned, innovative and superbly graceful writer on the
topic of aging, and an acknowledged expert researcher at Cambridge
University. His long-awaited book is now out.
He writes:
============================================
"The Mitochondrial Free Radical Theory of Aging",
has just become available. Its details are:
Title: The Mitochondrial Free Radical Theory of Aging
Author: Aubrey D.N.J. de Grey
Price: $89.00 (212pp, hardback)
Publisher: Landes Bioscience, 810 South Church Street Georgetown, TX, USA
tel: +1 512 863 7762, fax: +1 512 863 0081
ISBN: 1-57059-564-X
It is described at amazon.com as to be published in February, but this is
incorrect -- it is available now. It covers most aspects of mitochondria
and free radicals as they relate to aging, including extensive background
information (enough, I hope, that the scientifically-minded non-biologist
will be able to cope with it). There is also detailed discussion of some
perhaps-imminently-feasible life-extension interventions.
================
I haven't read it yet, but hope to do so soon.
