Beskrivning
Conceptual Breakthroughs in the Evolutionary Biology of Aging continues the innovative Conceptual Breakthroughs series by providing a comprehensive outline of the major breakthroughs that built the evolutionary biology of aging as a leading scientific field. Following the evolutionary study of aging from its humble origins to the present, the book's chapters treat the field's breakthroughs one at a time. Users will find a concise and accessible analysis of the science of aging viewed through an evolutionary lens. Building upon widely-cited studies conducted by author Michael Rose, this book covers 30 subsequent years of growth and development within the field.

The book highlights key publications for those who are not experts in the field, providing an important resource for researchers. Given the prevailing interest in changing the aging process dramatically, it is a powerful tool for readers who have a vested interest in understanding its causes and future control measures.

  • Reviews cell-molecular theories of aging in the light of evolutionary biology
  • Offers an evolutionary analysis of prospects for mitigating aging not commonly discussed within private and public sectors
  • Provides readers with a radically different perspective on contemporary biological gerontology, specifically through the lens of evolutionary biology

Mer information

Kenneth R. Arnold is a Graduate Researcher at the University of California at Irvine, working with Dr. Michael Rose in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology. He is also the Laboratory Stock Manager in the Laboratory of Dr. Michael Rose and Dr. Laurence Mueller at UCI. His studies and area of expertise deal with evolutionary biology and genomic trajectories Michael Rose is a Distinguished Professor of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at the University of California at Irvine. Since 2006, he also serves as the Director of the Network for Experimental Research on Evolution. Dr. Rose is widely recognized as a leading researcher in evolutionary biology, specifically the effects of this on aging humans; he published a groundbreaking book on this subject in 1991. In addition to this book publication, Dr. Rose has written hundreds of academic journal papers on evolution, evolutionary biology, and the evolution of aging. John C. Avise is a Distinguished Professor at the University of California at Irvine, and an elected member of the National Academy of Sciences, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and the American Philosophical Society. His research utilizes molecular markers to study the ecology and evolution of wild animals on topics ranging from genetic parentage and mating behaviors to gene flow, hybridization, phylogeography, speciation, and phylogeny. He has published more than 340 scientific articles and 25 books on a wide variety of evolutionary genetic topics.

Recensioner i media

"...serves as an update of the previous volume, and as such is extremely useful…. [C]onsists of 59 short chapters, each defining a standard paradigm and then describing the conceptual breakthrough that transformed it…. [A]n excellent book, distinguished by its high level of intellectual rigor and firm grounding in the evolutionary paradigm, is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand biogerontology.... Its clarity and presentation in easily digestible, bite-sized chunks makes it well suited for university courses on aging." --David Gems, The Quarterly Review of Biology
