Does human mortality after age 110 continue to rise, level off, or start to decline? The sixteen chapters of this book discuss age validation of exceptional longevity, data on supercentenarians in a series of countries, structure and contents of the IDL, and statistical analysis of human mortality after age 110.

From the reviews: "The present volume is an offshoot of an international project on longevity initiated by James Vaupel at the Max Planck Institute of Demographic Research (MPIDR). ... this book is strongly recommended for all those interested in ageing and longevity, that is, for probably most of us." (Guillaume Wunsch, European Journal of Population, Vol. 27, 2011) "This text contains 16 Chapters in three Sections. Within the sixteen chapters are ten nation-specific reports on how the local demographers gather, verify and analyze data on supercentenarians (those aged 110 or more). The book's focus is very well defined. ... It will be of interest only to those who themselves study mortality among the very old. While more interesting books can, and have been written on the topic, this is a very serious and detailed treatise." (Robert L. Brown, Canadian Studies in Population, Vol. 39 (1-2), Spring/Summer, 2012)
