This page was started when a friend asked for a list of my aging books. He has begun to put together a documentary about aging and rejuvenation, and I am one of his advisors. I generated this list from my list of books in my library (which happens to exceed 2,000). It turns out I have more than 40. I took notes on about half of these, and of these about 1/4 are online (those that are online are linked; just click the title).
Alternative list in my Ray’s Readings page, which has better descriptions but only includes the books I have entered the notes for.
