This is one of a series which looks at the quest for scientific solutions to the mysterious, unanswered questions which surround us in our everyday lives. This book questions how babies are formed, why we grow up and grow old, and why we die. It looks at how people have sought to explain the mystery of growing older, throughout history and across different cultures. It shows how scientists have traced the development of a human being from embryo to old age, and explains how these changes are programmed to happen. Lesley Newson has also written "Dealing with Dirt" and "Meatballs and Molecules."
