From the author of Apocalyptic Planet, an unsparing, vivid, revelatory travelogue through prehistory that traces the arrival of the First People in North America 20,000 years ago and the artifacts that enable us to imagine their lives and fates. This book upends our notions of where these people came from and who they were.

More than 12,000 years ago, in one of the greatest triumphs of prehistory, humans colonized North America, a continent that was then truly a new world. Just when and how they did so has been one of the most perplexing and controversial questions in archaeology.

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.

Scientific advances now enable us to measure your true age with much greater precision than ever before. The backward-looking metric of chronological age is passé and has been superseded by the forward-looking measure of remaining lifetime. In the not-too distant future your phone, watch or even your clothes will measure and report how old you really are and how long you will likely be spending in retirement. This brief book examines the personal financial implications of this “new age” development and focuses on how to guarantee a sustainable income stream for the remainder of your ...

In Reversing Time: The New Science of Biological Age Testing, discover how this revolutionary field is transforming our understanding of aging and longevity. This book provides a comprehensive overview of biological age testing, covering the latest advancements in: Epigenetics and DNA Methylation: Understand the science behind the most ...

Life is the most extraordinary phenomenon in the known universe; but how did it come to be? Even in an age of cloning and artificial biology, the remarkable truth remains: Nobody has ever made anything living entirely out of dead material. Life remains the only way to make life. Are we still missing a vital ingredient in its creation?

“A stand-alone heavy hitter that’s more in line with recent deviants like Chuck Wendig’s upcoming Wanderers (2019) and Daniel H. Wilson’s The Clockwork Dynasty (2017). Tonally, this lush novel is closer to Scott Lynch’s pirate fantasy The Lies of Locke Lamora (2006), but...

Marcos Vázquez nos adentra en el proceso de envejecimiento del cuerpo humano para descubrirnos qué es y por qué y cómo envejecemos. Nuestra edad cronológica avanza siempre a la misma velocidad y en la misma dirección, pero nuestra edad biológica es mucho más flexible y moldeable; los últimos avances científicos indican que puede incluso retroceder: REJUVENECER ES POSIBLE.

For decades, we were told our genes determine our fate: how long we live, how quickly we age, and when disease takes hold. But a quiet revolution in biology has shattered that belief. The emerging science of epigenetics reveals that genes are not fixed instructions—they are responsive systems, constantly switched on or off by lifestyle, environment, and internal signals. In The Epigenetic Reset...

In The Viral Storm, award-winning biologist Nathan Wolfe tells the story of how viruses and human beings have evolved side by side through history; how deadly viruses like HIV, swine flu, and bird flu almost wiped us out in the past; and why modern life has made our species vulnerable to the threat of a global pandemic. Wolfe's research missions to the jungles have earned him the nickname "the Indiana Jones of virus hunters," and here Wolfe takes listeners along on his groundbreaking and often dangerous research trips - to reveal the surprising origins of the most deadly diseases....

Lee Hood did that rarest of things. He enabled scientists to see things they couldn't see before and do things they hadn't dreamed of doing. Scientists can now sequence complete human genomes in a day, setting in motion a revolution that is personalizing medicine. Hood, a son of the American West, was an unlikely candidate to transform biology. But with ferocious drive, he led a team at Caltech that developed the automated DNA sequencer, the tool that paved the way for the Human Genome Project.

Journalist Jeff Bercovici spent extensive time with professional and Olympic athletes, coaches, and doctors to find how today's sports superstars seemed to be able to defy the limits of physical aging that inevitably sideline their competitors. Through fascinating profiles and first-person anecdotes, Bercovici illuminates the science and strategies extending the careers of elite older athletes, uncovers the latest advances in fields from nutrition to brain science to virtual reality, and offers empowering insights about how the rest of us can find peak performance at any age.

There has been so much focus on the real risk of animals going extinct that it’s easily overlooked just how many new species are still being discovered every year. In an age defined by environmental loss, the discovery of new species is a beacon of hope, proving there is still so much to learn about the natural world. Hidden Wonders by acclaimed naturalist David Alderton is a thrilling journey into the heart of modern zoological exploration. Every year, hundreds of new species are brought to light from the remotest corners of the planet.

In The Synthetic Age, Christopher Preston argues that what is most startling about this coming epoch is not only how much impact humans have had but, more important, how much deliberate shaping they will start to do. Emerging technologies promise to give us the power to take over some of Nature's most basic operations. It is not just that we are exiting the Holocene and entering the Anthropocene; it is that we are leaving behind the time in which planetary change is just the unintended consequence of unbridled industrialism.

Professor Rose Anne Kenny has 35 years of experience at the forefront of ageing medicine. In Age Proof, she draws on her own pioneering research and the latest evidence to demystify why we age and shows us that 80% of our ageing biology is within our control: we can not only live longer lives but become happier and healthier deep into our later years.
