Front Cover
Wiley, Sep 28, 1995 - Psychology - 418 pages
This definitive reference describes the evolutionary basis of ageing and the recent connections between biochemical damage and pathologies--the central theme being DNA errors, their detection and repair. Presents an in-depth study of ageing as a problem of genes and environment, as a loss of systems precision, as increased disease and as a repairable defect.
