This is not a mere description of ageing. Instead, by considering male ageing in the light of natural selection, it aims to answer big questions. . . . Testosterone peaks in early adulthood, so that men are past their physical prime by the age of 30. It's tempting to see it as all downhill from there. But with wit and insight, Bribiescas shows convincingly that's not the case.\"\u003cb\u003e---Kate Douglas, \u003ci\u003eNew Scientist\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"[\u003ci\u003eHow Men Age\u003c\/i\u003e] certainly enriches our understanding of male health and well-being.\"\u003cb\u003e---Wan Lixin, \u003ci\u003eShanghai Daily\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e","brand":"Princeton University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49403857371479,"sku":"9780691180915","price":14.24,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780691180915.jpg?v=1730484735","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/how-men-age-9780691180915","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
