Lifespan: The Revolutionary Science of Why We Age – and Why We Don’t Have To – David A. Sinclair (2019 Thorsons Hardcover)

A provocative exploration of the science of ageing from geneticist David A. Sinclair, examining emerging research into why we grow old and whether aspects of the ageing process might one day be slowed or altered.

Lifespan: The Revolutionary Science of Why We Age – and Why We Don’t Have To by David A. Sinclair, with Matthew D. LaPlante, explores scientific research into ageing, genetics and longevity and challenges the traditional assumption that growing old must simply be accepted as an unavoidable process of decline.

Drawing on research from genetics, molecular biology and longevity science, Sinclair discusses mechanisms associated with ageing and examines experimental approaches being investigated by scientists. He also considers how future advances could affect human health, medicine and the way society thinks about ageing and lifespan.

Written for a general audience, Lifespan combines scientific explanation with personal observations and predictions about the future of longevity research. The book presents Sinclair's interpretation of a developing field, and some of its claims and proposed interventions remain subjects of ongoing scientific research and debate.
