由当代领先的科学家之一Caled Finch执笔，这本《人类长寿生物学-炎症、营养及衰老在自然寿命的进化中作用》一书集合了几十年来在人类衰老和寿命长短方面，特别是近年关于炎症和其对健康影响方面的话题。本书囊括了目前主要几大理论流派，包括Barker的成人疾病胚儿起源假说，考虑炎症的影响以及Harmon的自由基伤害衰老学说。肥胖在全球的蔓延和感染在全球的增加将使人们在降低炎症，延长人类寿命上取得的成绩大打折扣。无论从哪个学术角度，本书都将对致力于衰老研究的人有所裨益。

Written by Caleb Finch, one of the leading scientists of our time, The Biology of Human Longevity - Inflammation, Nutrition, and Aging in the Evolution of Lifespans synthesizes several decades of top research on the topic of human aging and longevity particularly on the recent theories of inflammation and its effects on human health. The book expands a number of existing major theories, including the Barker theory of fetal origins of adult disease to consider the role of inflammation and Harmon's free radical theory of aging to include inflammatory damage. Future increases in lifespan are challenged by the obesity epidemic and spreading global infections which may reverse the gains made in lowering inflammatory exposure. This timely and topical book will be of interest to anyone studying aging from any scientific angle.
