The Nile on eBay Aging and Biological Rhythms by H.V. Samis Aging is one of the most serious and costly health problems in the Western world. A disproportionate amount of the available health care capability is devoted to the health care of the aged and the cost of this care is soaring. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Aging is one of the most serious and costly health problems in the Western world. A disproportionate amount of the available health care capability is devoted to the health care of the aged and the cost of this care is soaring. Viewed in wide perspective, aging presents two problems for the researcher's consideration. First is that of providing the most efficacious therapeutic regi­ mens and the best possible care for those already in their latter years. The second is to determine the cause or causes for senes­ cence and all its attendant problems in order to decrease the im­ pact of senescence on general health and well being. This volume is aimed at examining possible relationships be­ tween biological time structure and aging and ways by which these interrelationships might be examined in terms of both the causes of senescence and the management of health problems of the elderly. The purpose of the volume is to stir the interests of chronobiolo­ gists in gerontology and those of gerontologists and geriatricians in chronobiology.

  1. I have had great service from the nile, fast shipping, excellent packaging. The book is brand new and great condition as described. It has been fantastic value for money and in excellent appearance. Communication with the Nile has been absolutely perfect especially a wonderful woman called Kasandra who has been the most wonderful person, great customer service, so very helpful and went out of her way to help me. Thank you so much for making this such a great experience for me.

  2. Great seller communication - I was updated regularly about order and delivery status. Arrived fast, well packaged. Minor gripe - this is a smaller hard cover book (size of your normal novel/soft cover), not the standard ‘Esoterica’ series hard covers. This wasn’t described in the listing as a ‘smaller version’ or similar, suggest adding that to the listing to save others being disappointed like I was. Had to order another larger one to ‘match’ the collection.

  3. Shipping is really slow, which is ok if you're happy to wait a month after the advertised estimated arrival date, which I usually am. Communication from seller is poor, the only updates are from Ebay (once the item is finally shipped). Other than that, items arrive well packaged, undamaged and as per the description. 5 stars for product, quality and value but only given 1 star for shipping time and seller communication.
