New edition of a text that provides an overview of biological aging processes at the molecular, cellular, organismal, and population levels and in a comparative and evolutionary context. An important conceptual change in this edition is that rather than viewing age-related diseases as being an abnormal way to age, the author now treats diseases as "systemic failures that highlight the weak points of the evolved anatomical and physiological design of the organism and thereby allow us to identify and investigate them." Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
