摘要

traces the emergence and growth of the multidisciplinary scientific field around old age and ageing. Focusing on the ageing process of humans as living organisms, Hyung Wook Parks’s book is the outcome of deep research into the history of the study of ageing by life scientists. It is a well-documented narrative and a comprehensive analysis of the dynamics of the beginnings of the biological study of ageing and the strong interrelationship with social and clinical fields.
