The Mitochondrial Free Radical Theory of Aging - Supernova: Pliki

I cannot overstate my profound gratitude to those who have
supported my work on this book and on the research that led to it. My
interest in the field of theoretical gerontology has led me to delve deeply
into many disciplines, in some of which I initially lacked grounding, let
alone expertise. Such wide-ranging forays into the literature are possible
in the present day due to one recent advance more than any other: the
availability of electronic literature databases with comprehensive scope
and powerful search functionality. Despite working at an institution better
endowed with library holdings of scientific periodicals than nearly any in
the world, I could not possibly have made my contributions to this field
without such tools; for unlimited access to them I thank my colleagues at
Cambridge, who have tolerated my unsociable working hours.
I am also hugely indebted to the many colleagues who have critiqued
my earlier contributions to the gerontological literature, and especially to
Adam Wilkins, Jeremy Henty and John Rickard, who each read the entire
manuscript and inspired numerous valuable improvements. Above all I
thank Adelaide Carpenter, who not only critiqued the whole manuscript
twice but also put up with me for a year when I was (to my mind, though
she will have none of it) intolerably immersed in it.
