Jellyfish Age Backwards: Nature's Secrets to Longevity
Nicklas Brendborg, trans. by Elizabeth de Noma
Jellyfish Age Backwards was shortlisted for the Royal Society Science Book Prize and was an international bestseller. A journey from the farthest reaches of the globe to the most cutting-edge research to explore everything the natural world and science have to offer on the mystery of ageing. From the backwards-ageing jellyfish to the woman who successfully edited her own DNA, biologist Nicklas Brendborg follows the thread of every experiment, story and myth in search of immortality. With mind-bending discoveries and physiological gifts that feel closer to magic than reality, Jellyfish Age Backwards will reshape everything you thought you knew about ageing - and reveal nature's secrets to unlocking your own longevity.
