The Quintessential Study on Longevity
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
Robert Butler is THE most prestigious and vocal advocate on aging in the world. His contributions to gerontology are without comparison. Now he has written an academic book on longevity that contributes to the subject and informs the reader of studies, status of the subject, and data that has not been available prior to this publication. His unique and professional opinions are invaluable and provide the curious as well as the professional with material that is new as well as important. This is a major contribution to the understanding of longevity in a relatively sparse field.
A brilliant and masterful work"
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
Dr. Bob Butler's Longevity Revolution is truly a masterful piece of work. No individual has done more, here in the US - or throughout the world - to raise awareness of the challenges and opportunities, the fears and hopes of our longer lives. Serving as both physician and philosopher, Dr. Butler brilliantly charts the landcape of an increasingly longer-lived 21st century.
