Descriere completă

We've been tantalised by the idea of eternal youth since time immemorial. We're always asking how we can live longer, and better. Or, to put it another way, why can't we all be like Madame Calment who cycled till she was 100, smoked till she was 117 and died at the wonderfully old age of 122? In Spring Chicken, veteran reporter Bill Gifford takes us for a rip-roaring ride along the trail to the fountain of youth. Meet the scientists who have doubled the life-expectancy of mice by knocking out a single gene, and others like Aubrey de Grey who says our children could go on to live for a thousand years or maybe five thousand. Discover why some people live longer than others - one study of London residents even showed that where you get off the Tube can make a huge difference to how long you live. In Spring Chicken, Gifford separates fact and fiction, exposing the hoaxes and scams foisted upon our ageing society, while also revealing what you should do, and what you definitely shouldn't do, to stay younger for longer. An intoxicating mixture of deep reporting and fascinating science, it is an addictive account of our quest to cure ageing and defeat death.
