This book provides a broad introduction to an extremely important and fascinating subject. For the new edition the entire text has been brought up to date, new illustrations have been added, and the chapter on old age has been completely rewritten. The advent of new knowledge has necessitated changes in many other sections, but the general arrangement remains the same, though the layout differs slightly from previous editions.
