Why do we age? The answer to this question is critical to our ability to prevent and treat highly age-related diseases such as cancer and heart disease that now cause the deaths of most people in the developed world. This short book provides an overview of biological aging theories including history, current status, major scientific controversies, and implications for the future of medicine. Major topics include: human mortality as a function of age, aging mechanisms and processes, the programmed vs. non-programmed aging controversy, empirical evidence on aging, and the feasibility of anti-aging and regenerative medicine. Evolution theory is essential to aging theories. Theorists have been struggling for 150 years to explain how aging, deterioration, and consequent death fit with Darwin’s survival of the fittest concept. This book explains how continuing genetics discoveries have produced changes in the way we think about evolution that in turn lead to new thinking about the nature of aging. [more]

Some do not take into account the fact that a person’s presence of what is called instincts and emotions, genetics and hormones makes his behavior partially or completely predictable. In this connection, some of these same people may not know how to correctly in the generally accepted sense of the word, respond to a particular situation, may not know the objective motivation of others in relation to them, not know what is true and what is fiction, how to understand it correctly what is happening in the world. According to the author, these some in most cases are those who grew up in an incomplete or in the so-called dysfunctional family, this book is dedicated to this target audience. [more]

In 2005 I finished the first draft of The Redemption of Marvin Fuster. I loved the version in which...Marvin has just burned down the clothing store a few hours ago. Maribeth, daughter of the governor, has run over him as he flees the scene of the crime, and taken him home to The Governor's Mansion, filled with sorrow for having been speeding in her Mercedes roadster...again. Daddy is NOT happy when he discovers a bum living in his basement. I found the governor's character a bit unrealistic, and so I revised the chapter in 2012 in which...Marvin and Maribeth have returned from the bookstore where Marvin has stolen an armload of books on genetics. Earlier in the day he had an encounter with a cop, and following that, narrowly escaped the Major at the Salvation Army Mission. Marvin was naked. The second version is the final. BTW...Governor Richard Harris comes to love the crazy old man in time. Well, who wouldn't? [more]
