Aging, a natural history

Article number 10123633

Aging, A Natural History by Robert E. Ricklefs and Caleb E. Finch explores the phenomenon of aging from biological, ecological, and evolutionary perspectives. The authors examine how and why aging occurs across the animal kingdom, comparing human aging with that of other species. They discuss genetic and environmental factors, physiological mechanisms, and the evolutionary trade-offs that shape life spans. Written for the Scientific American Library, the book combines accessible explanations with scientific rigor and is richly illustrated with photographs, charts, and diagrams.
