Senescence

by Howard Sidney Thomas

Overview

Senescence is a journey from the Big Bang to the Big Sleep. It tells the story of life, death and everything in between. We learn about autumn leaves, Josef Stalin's toes, fruit ripening, the inventor of Marmite and the precarious state of the world's food supply. Senescence can be read as a continuous narrative or opened at random to sample one-page stand-alone mini-essays. The book includes copious notes and a comprehensive glossary.
