Never say die : the myth and marketing of the new old age / Susan Jacoby.

Jacoby, Susan, 1945- (Author).

Summary:

In a narrative that combines the intensely personal with social, economic, and historical analysis, Jacoby turns an unsparing eye on the marketers of longevity--pharmaceutical companies, lifestyle gurus, and scientific businessmen who suggest that there will soon be a "cure" for the "disease" of aging.
