David Bainbridge 
Middle Age [EPUB ebook] 
A Natural History

Ajutor

“There’s lots of good news for the middle aged…A very jolly book with clear scientific explanations.”—The Telegraph
 
David Bainbridge is a vet with a particular interest in evolutionary zoology—and he has just turned forty. As well as the usual concerns about greying hair, failing eyesight, and goldfish levels of forgetfulness, he finds himself pondering some bigger questions: have I come to the end of my productive life as a human being? And what I am now for?
 
By looking afresh at the latest research from the fields of anthropology, neuroscience, psychology, and reproductive biology, it seems that the answers are surprisingly, reassuringly encouraging. In clear, engaging and amiable prose, Bainbridge explains the science behind the physical, mental and emotional changes men and women experience between the ages of 40 and 60, and reveals the evolutionary—and personal—benefits of middle age, which is unique to human beings and helps to explain the extraordinary success of our species.
Middle Age will change the way you think about midlife, and help turn the crisis into a cause for celebration.
 
“Bainbridge’s zoological examination of the human animal results in a study that is full of surprises…Heartening.”—
Sunday Times
“Thought-provoking. [It] should certainly shed some new light on one’s own potbellied or menopausal mid-life crisis…Fascinating.”—
Evening Standard
