You're looking very well - Lewis Wolpert

We now live longer today than at any time
in history. In the UK, more people are aged over sixty-five than under sixteen and by
2050, over a third of the developed world will be over sixty. How should
we deal with this phenomenon? What are the scientific reasons for
ageing? And can - or should - we prevent it?

Lewis Wolpert,
distinguished biologist and octogenarian, explores the scientific
background and the implications of our ageing population. In this
engaging investigation, he tackles every aspect of the subject from
ageism to euthanasia to anti-ageing cream and, through it all, tries to
better understand his own ageing. Witty, frank and often inspiring,
Lewis Wolpert is the perfect guide to 'looking very well'.
