And there is something else I must tell at this opportunity
I am very happy and proud to tell about the publication of my
book on the history of Life Extension research, entitled “A History of Life-Extensionism
in the Twentieth Century”.
http://www.amazon.com/History-Life-Extensionism-Twentieth-Century/dp/1500818577/
It includes a broad overview of the subject in several major contexts (France, Germany, Russia and Ukraine, the US and the UK), considering both the history of various scientific methodologies and theories proposed and the social and ideological determinants of this pursuit. The book was highly reviewed by several prominent figures in aging and longevity research, some of whose comments are included on the book cover.
I would be very grateful for any review or any other feedback (on Amazon, or any other public or academic venue)!
Proceedings from the sales of this book will
be donated
to international longevity research and advocacy projects, for example Regional
Longevity Outreach http://www.longecity.org/forum/donate/goal-17-local-meetings/
or Israeli Longevity Alliance
http://www.bioaging.org.il/ or
others.

Wishing you a Happy New year! Shana Tova!!
Truly yours,
