The Biology of Aging by Robert Arking
Introduces aging, defines it, describes the statistics and parameters that measure it, and compares it in different species and models. This work focuses the material back onto human aging and its clinical and demographic outcomes. It provides an overview of a rapidly changing field, and reflects the changes, the disputes, and the glut of data.
"This third edition is a timely and important contribution that compiles historical and recent research findings in a highly readable form and, as well, tackles some of the difficult conceptual problems in understanding aging"--American Journal of Human Biology
