Alder (Age) by Suresh Rattan (Wikipedia, faculty profile), a gerontology researcher at Aarhus University, is the 45th in the Tænkepauser (Reflections) series of Danish-language 60-page layperson-accessible introductory essays on various academic topics, this installment a semi-philosophical meditation on aging and the potential for life extension via research in our modern age, free for a limited time courtesy of Aarhus University Press in Denmark.
This is offered as part of their monthly program which generously gives away the latest in the series and its accompanying audiobook reading for just one week after publication. Currently free, just through January 9th directly @ the university's webcatalogue page (DRM-free ePub & PDF available worldwide; for the MP3 audiobook, scroll down to where it says "Om bogen" and click the "Alder som lydbog" link) Beskrivelse på dansk 1955. Det er det tal, Suresh Rattan kan læse på sin fødselsattest. I den alder banker forfaldet på hos enhver, men han føler sig ikke så gammel. Faktisk har han det som en tyve år yngre vårhare, og han ved godt hvorfor, men han er jo også aldersforsker ved Aarhus Universitet. Takket være evolutionen kan vi ikke forestille os selv ældre end 45, og biologisk set burde vi bare opgive ånden, når vi har opdraget et par tro kopier af os selv. Til alle os, der gerne vil leve lidt længere, har Suresh opfundet formlen for evigt liv. Lad os håbe, den virker. |
