Book of Life: Encyclopedia II - Life extension - History of life extension and the Life Extension Movement

In 1970, the American Aging Association was formed under the impetus of Denham Harman originator of the free radical theory of aging.

In the course of his life, Rothbard was associated with a number of political thinkers and movements. During the early 1950s, he studied with the Austrian economist Ludwig von Mises and began working for the William Volker Fund. During the late 1950s, Rothbard was briefly an intimate of Ayn Rand and Nathaniel Branden, whom he would later criticize strongly, and who criticized anarcho-capitalism as pro-statist.

Book of Life: Encyclopedia II - Eugene Odum - Life & Work

Son of the sociologist, Howard W. Odum, Odum credited his father for imparting to him a holistic approach to looking at things. When contemplating his advanced education, he rejected both the University of Michigan and Cornell University, as he did not feel that this holism was embodied in their approach to their biology departments. Instead, he chose the Graduate Department of Zoology at the University of ...

Book of Life: Encyclopedia II - Life extension - Ethics and Politics of Life Extension

Life extension - Anti-Aging Medicine. It is commonly claimed that life extension would destroy the planet with overpopulation. Leon Kass (chairman of the US President's Council on Bioethics from 2001 to 2005) has exemplified the anti-life extension view with the following statement: "simply to covet a prolonged life span for ourselves is both a sign and a cause of our failure to open ourselves to procreation and to any higher purpose. … [The] desire to prolong youthfulness is not only a childish de ...

Book of Life: Encyclopedia II - Life extension - Strategies of Life Extension

Life extension - Anti-Aging Medicine. Much of anti-aging medicine has been concerned with the use of nutritional supplements to extend lifespan. The idea that antioxidant supplements, such as Vitamin E, lipoic acid and N-acetylcysteine, might extend human life stems from the free radical theory of aging. Diabetes resembles accelerated aging and is associated with cross-linking of proteins by sugars, more specifically monosaccharides. Some believe that anti-glycating supplements (supplements that reduce the protein cross-linking by mono ...

Book of Life: Encyclopedia II - Murray Rothbard - Rothbard's law

Rothbard's law is a self-attributed adage. In essence, Rothbard suggested that an otherwise talented individual would specialize and focus in an area which they were weaker at - or simply flat out wrong. Or as he often put it: "everyone specializes in what he is worst at." In one example[1], he discusses his time spent with Ludwig von Mises, In all the years I attended his seminar and was with him, he never talked about foreign policy. If he was an interventionist on foreign affairs, I never knew it. This is a violatio ...

Book of Life: Encyclopedia II - Life extension - Scientific Controversy about Life Extension

Life extension - Anti-Aging Medicine. Although Alex Comfort was an anti-aging gerontologist ahead of his time, as was Bernard Strehler, other "old guard" biogerontologists vehemently deny that aging is a disease. Possibly the most prominent biogerontologist making this denial is Leonard Hayflick, who determined that fibroblasts are limited to around 50 cell divisions. Hayflick reasons that aging is an unavoidable consequence of entropy. Dr. Denham Harman spent years experimenting with antioxidants, an ...

Book of Life: Encyclopedia II - Jim Steranko - Publisher and paperback-artist

Steranko was unable to produce comics work that met his own standards at a pace sufficient to sustain himself economically. As well, he felt constrained by the Comics Code Authority, which frequently ordered changes to tone down the sensuality of his work. Seeking work illustrating book covers, he compiled a porfolio of acrylic paintings and met with Lancer Books art director Howard Winters, to whom he immediately sold a fantasy painting from among his samples. This led to a career illustrating dozens of paperback covers, popularly including those of Pyramid ...
