| adam_text | 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 le els of forgetfulness,
he finds himself pondering some bigger questions: have I come to the
end of my productive life as a human being? What am I now for? By
looking at the latest research from the fields of anthropology,
neuro¬
science,
psychology, and reproductive biology, he concludes that the
answers are surprisingly encouraging. In clear and amiable prose,
Bainbridge explains the science behind the physical, mental and
emotional changes men and women experience between the ages of
forty and sixty, and reveals the evolutionary
—
and personal
—
benefits
of middle age, a phenomenon unique to human beings, and helps to
explain the extraordinary success of our species.
Middle Age will change the way you think about mid-life, and help
turn the crisis into a cause for celebration.
