Gody priveredlivye. Zapiski gerontologa - Anisimov V.N.

Here is a book covering half a century of scientific life. Interesting cultural memories resurrect little-known pages of the history of our country. Vladimir Anisimov talks about his professional and personal development: how he aspired to become a doctor, studied at medical school, then at the I Leningrad Medical Institute, how he defended his Ph.D. and doctoral thesis, but at the same time went to the target and in the construction squads.
This book is an example of good memoirism. It will be interesting to a wide range of readers looking for a true narrative about the Soviet era. But the book is especially useful for future doctors and scientists: many of the situations described by the author have pedagogical value.
The technological revolution in molecular biology and the deciphering of the genome of organisms that differ significantly in life expectancy open up new opportunities for both the study of the genetic foundations of longevity and for the developing tools to prevent premature aging and improve the quality of life of older people. Member-correspondent of the RAS, Dr. Honey. Professor, Emeritus of Science of the Russian Federation, President of the Gerontological Society V.N. Anisimov develops the idea that longevity depends not only on the genes that gave us fate, but also on our own lifestyle choices.
