"This gracefully written, authoritative book is worth ten stay-young-forever self-help fairy tales. If you want to grasp the biological and psychological realities of male aging, this is the book for you. It will help you age better, stronger, healthier, and smarter, without losing your sense of humor."--Melvin Konner, author of Women after All: Sex, Evolution, and the End of Male Supremacy "How Men Age is a wise, thoughtful, and provocative book that everyone should read--women and men alike. Bribiescas eloquently explains how and why men mature and die, drawing on evolutionary theory, endocrinology, anthropology, genetics, and more. His insights will change how you think about human life--including your own."--Daniel E. Lieberman, author of The Story of the Human Body: Evolution, Health, and Disease "Bribiescas takes a potentially complicated topic--male aging--and makes reading about it enjoyable. His writing style is warm and inviting, and he uses interesting anecdotes and lighthearted analogies to great effect. The book also has lots of muscle, little fat, and overall, lots of substance." --Peter B. Gray, coauthor of Fatherhood: Evolution and Human Paternal Behavior "A major contribution to our understanding of gender and life span. Bribiescas's narrative is fun reading, and his arguments are supported by salient examples."--Caleb E. Finch, author of The Biology of Human Longevity "Do not buy or borrow some book on aging written by a web site, a fake MD, or some other charlatan. Read a book on aging (in men) that first appeared many times in the peer reviewed literature, written by Harvard Trained Yale Expert Richard Bribiescas. . . . You will enjoy this book, especially if you are a man of a certain age."--Greg Laden
