Book Cover & Preview Text
This book provides a scientific background reading with a particular emphasis on the interaction of chemistry and biology in the study of aging and aging related elements. The book describes in precise details the immune system and how it attacks foreign bodies, and gives good examples of chemical formulas and interactions. The book is sufficiently detailed to retain the interest of health specialists while still general enough for those wishing to acquire basic knowledge of chemistry, biology and aging. It is a valuable reference to any one involved in health disciplines. This is a very detailed book about aging with particular reference to: § § § § § §
There are also colorful photos as well as chemical equations and diagrams complement the text. The book provides descriptions that are clear, accurate, and accessible to readers on every level.

About the Book
Aging is not a process of decline; it is a process of continuing to meet life's challenges and of growing into a complete human being. Aging is a complex interaction of genetics, chemistry, biology and physiology; topics that are worthwhile to address. This book offers a good introduction to the biology and chemistry of aging. It emphasizes on cellular aging, and covers different areas and theories which deal with mechanism of aging. If the reader has some background in biology, then this is an excellent introductionary book to the biology and chemistry of aging. The book includes information on aging of cell and reversal of aging, DNA damage theory of aging, acidity, oxidative stress, radicals, insulin/IGF hormones, anabolic and catabolic hormones, testosterone and estrogen, energy through conversion between NAD+ and NADH, DNA transcription to RNA, and RNA translation to protein. This book is the first of its kind in providing scientists, physicians, pharmacists, engineers, teachers, computer programmers, and anyone with a background or strong interest in biology, chemistry, and aging. The book deals with scientific causes of aging, and philosophical and sociological implication of life-extension and research on aging. I recommend it for those serious about the biology and chemistry of aging.
About the Author
Amin Elsersawi is a Canadian author, engineer and by
He is a professional engineer registered with the Professional Engineering Society of Ontario Canada
Dr. Elsersawi is currently retired. He previously served as general director for notable power generation and distribution energy utility. Prior to that, he was a chief of electrical engineering for the Public Work and Government Services Canada. He published more than 100 papers and reports in engineering and mathematic, biology, astronomy, and chemistry. He spent more than 15 years in teaching at universities and colleges. His main research interests are twentieth-century engineering, astronomy and chemistry. His interests in astronomy took off in the early 1990 at the age of 50, when he showed a great interesting in leaning toward mathematical and behavioral astronomy. He compiled his own celestial mechanics algorithms for the precise computation of astrophysics of planets and constellations, and other phenomena such as weak energy, dark universe, quantum radiations and lights.
He presented several reports, articles and essays in chemistry and chemical engineering at several seminars and conferences. He is the author of the book Chemistry, Biology and Cancer: the Bond, and the book The Atom and The Universe: Theories and Facts unfold.
Dr. Elsersawi and his wife, Randa, have been happily married since 1969 and have three children. First daughter, a University of Toronto graduate is a practicing gynecological and obstetrician. The second daughter, a graduate in psychology from York University, and the son, a graduate in electrical engineering from Western Ontario University. Dr. Elsersawi and Randa are the proud grandparents of seven.
