All of us would like to live longer, or to slow the debilitating effects of age.
In “How We Age,” Coleen Murphy shows how recent research on longevity and aging may be bringing us closer to this goal.
Murphy, a leading scholar of aging, explains that the study of model systems, particularly simple invertebrate animals, combined with breakthroughs in genomic methods, have allowed scientists to probe the molecular mechanisms of longevity and aging.
Decades ago, Mumford wrote that algebraic geometry “seems to have acquired the reputation of being esoteric, exclusive, and very abstract, with adherents who are secretly plotting to take over all the rest of mathematics.”
The revolution has now fully come to pass and has fundamentally changed how we think about many fields of mathematics.
This book provides a thorough foundation in the powerful ideas that now shape the landscape, with an informal yet rigorous exposition that builds intuition for the formidable machinery.
