Summary

Longevity Science Backs explores the intriguing intersection of biblical accounts of extreme lifespans, particularly those of pre-flood patriarchs, and modern longevity science. It delves into whether genetics and environmental factors might explain these extended lifespans, not as literal truths, but as potential avenues for understanding the biology of aging. The book bridges the gap between biblical narrative and scientific inquiry, suggesting that ancient texts can inspire innovative research questions.

 
The book examines two key areas: the genetic basis of aging, exploring genes and pathways implicated in longevity across different species, and the environmental and lifestyle factors that could modulate genetic predispositions. For example, studies on centenarians and supercentenarians provide unique data sources.

 
It begins by providing a background on both biblical interpretations of longevity and current scientific understanding of human aging and progresses through specific examples of long-lived individuals and species, finishing with the ethical and societal implications of longevity research. This unique approach challenges the traditional separation between faith and science, suggesting a complementary approach where ancient narratives can spark innovative research questions.

 
The book adopts a balanced and objective tone, acknowledging the limitations of both scientific and biblical interpretations. By exploring potential genetic variations and environmental conditions, the book aims to inform and inspire scientific investigations into extending human lifespan and promoting healthier aging.

    Anthropocene - A Very Short...

    The proposal that the impact of humanity on the planet has left a distinct footprint, even on the scale of geological time, has recently gained much ground. Global climate change, shifting global cycles of the weather, widespread pollution, radioactive fallout, plastic accumulation, species invasions, the mass extinction of species—these are just some of the many indicators that we will leave a lasting record in rock, the scientific basis for recognizing new time intervals in Earth's history. The Anthropocene, as the proposed new epoch has been named, is regularly in the news. 
     
     
     
    Even with such robust evidence, the proposal to formally recognize our current time as the Anthropocene remains controversial both inside and outside the scholarly world. Instead, the Anthropocene has emerged as a powerful new narrative, a concept through which age-old questions about the meaning of nature and even the nature of humanity are being revisited and radically revised. 
     
     
     
    This Very Short Introduction explains the science behind the Anthropocene and the many proposals about when to mark its beginning: the nuclear tests of the 1950s? The beginnings of agriculture? The origins of humans as a species? The Anthropocene remains a work in progress. Is 
    this the story of an unprecedented planetary disaster? Or of newfound wisdom and redemption?

    Marine Pollution - What Everyone...

    Judith S. Weis

    For millennia, human societies have viewed the ocean as a dumping ground for waste products of all kinds. The sources of marine pollution are extensive, including oil spills, sewage, fertilizers, pesticides, industrial wastes, heavy metals, ocean acidification, plastics, and even invasive species, considered biological pollution. Yet, the solutions are not as clear. 
     
    Updated to reflect recent research, this book discusses the sources of marine pollutants, their effects on marine organisms and humans, and how to reduce or eliminate them. Weis covers the aftermath of oil spills in addition to "emerging" topics like flame retardants, pharmaceuticals, noise pollution, and PFAS. A new chapter examines the prevalence of microplastics and how they rise through the food chain into human beings, along with their associated toxic chemicals. Additional chapters address the deadly effects of climate change in the ocean but also focus on actions that all people can take, citing recent environmental improvements as a cause for hope.
