Book excerpt: This book provides the reader with a broad overview of the biology of aging, and offers a critical analysis of past, present and possible future anti-aging interventions. It begins by evaluating the state of research on aging and anti-aging interventions on the basis of scientific merit and underlying biology, before discussing the shortcomings and drawbacks of existing strategies that sometimes preclude meaningful developments. The volume differs from many existing studies in its more balanced and realistic analysis of current developments in the field of aging.
