Extra Life: A Short History of Living Longer Johnson Steven
As featured in The New York Times Magazine, and on an upcoming PBS documentary series: the surprising and important story of how humans gained what amounts to an extra life, from the bestselling author of How We Got to Now and Where Good Ideas Come FromAs a species we have doubled our life expectancy in just one hundred years. There are few measures of human progress more astonishing than our increased longevity.This book is Steven Johnson's attempt to understand where that progress came from. All the advances of modern life--the medical breakthroughs, the public health institutions, the rising standards of living--have given us each about twenty thousand extra days on average.
What are the forces that now keep us alive longer? Behind How many of those extra twenty thousand days came from vaccines, or the decrease in famines, or seatbelts?
