Why do we age - and what if aging could be changed?
For most of history, aging was treated as inevitable: the body wears out, the clock runs down, and nothing can be done about it. Biology has spent the past half century dismantling that assumption, cell by cell.
Longevity: The Science of Aging and How to Change It presents the most important findings from the biology of aging - a field that has moved, in a single generation, from describing what happens as we age to identifying the specific molecular mechanisms that drive it, and from identifying those mechanisms to developing the first interventions capable of targeting them.
You will discover why different species age at such dramatically different rates - and what this tells us about the genetic regulation of aging. You will understand the twelve hallmarks of aging: genomic instability, telomere shortening, epigenetic drift, proteostatic failure, senescent cell accumulation, mitochondrial dysfunction, and the others that collectively produce biological decline. You will learn why cellular senescence, NAD+ depletion, and mTOR dysregulation are targets for the most promising pharmacological longevity interventions now entering clinical trials. And you will find the practical framework - grounded in the same biology that the drugs are targeting - for what exercise, nutrition, sleep, and stress management do at the molecular level, and why they remain the most powerful longevity tools available today.
The science of living longer has become one of the most actively funded and rapidly advancing areas of biology. This book is where it begins.

Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.

To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to California Books, Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.

The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
