'œAfter preliminary historical chapters, the bibliography examines alchemy, quakery and folk beliefs; rejuvenations; long-living peoples; diet; athleticism and exercise; renowned gerontologists; biomedical research; health planning; and progeria. The progeria chapter, one of the few with its own introduction, has an impressive, primarily retrospective, listing of scholarly sources for an often overlooked topic.... Annotations are focused and descriptive."Researchers will find this work a formidable and valuable resource tool; others will appreciate its contribution to a topic of increasing relevance.'' ChoiceWilliam G.
