Ageless: The New Science of Getting Older Without Getting Old by Andrew Steele (

The Nile on eBay   Ageless by Andrew Steele

Ageing is the biggest cause of disease in our society. Cancer, heart disease, dementia, flu: the risk of all increase staggeringly rapidly as we near the end of life. What if we could slow down the process - or even stop it? Ageless introduces us to the cutting-edge research that is paving the way for a revolution in medicine. We currently focus on treating individual diseases as we grow older, but there might soon be a way of treating the ailment that underpins them all: the ageing process itself. Computational biologist Andrew Steele explains what is happening as we age, and how understanding its scientific implications could lead to the greatest discovery in the history of medicine - one that has the potential to improve billions of lives, save trillions of dollars, and transform the human condition.

Dr Andrew Steele is a 32-year-old computational biologist. He is a Research Fellow at the Francis Crick Institute in London, using computers to decode our DNA and unravel the secrets hidden in some of modern biology's biggest data. He has a first-class degree and a DPhil in physics from Oxford University, where he used particle accelerators to understand the inner workings of magnetic and superconducting materials. The transition from physics to biology came about when he realised that ageing is the single largest cause of human suffering, and wanted to do something about it. He has featured in or on the Guardian, Sky News, The One Show, and Discovery's Impossible Engineering and Through the Wormhole , BBC Radio 4's Inside Science and Newshour.

Review Quote

What if we had a cure for getting old? A bold young scientist argues that medicine and technology will stop bodily decay . . . Fascinating

Promotional "Headline"

What would life look like if we couldn't conceive of death? Ageless is a guide to the science driving biology's biggest story: why we get old, and how we can stop it.

Feature

This will be the seminal book on the science of ageing, and will do for ageing what Matthew Walker's Why We Sleep (nearly 250,000 TCM) did for sleep.
