Book Review: Finding the Fountain of Youth: The Science and Controversy behind Extending Life and Cheating Death
Abstract
The untimely death of his wife inspired Aharon W. Zorea to write about the universal desire to extend life. Dr. Zorea had touched briefly on the topic of antiaging in Steroids (Greenwood, 2014), a reference book in which he outlined the medical and social debates surrounding the use of steroids to enhance human performance. In Finding the Fountain of Youth: The Science and Controversy behind Extending Life and Cheating Death, he traces the history of humankind’s obsession with youth and longevity, and he provides fascinating perspectives from myth, religion, philosophy, science, and sociology.
