Part memoir, part scientific investigation, Racing the Clock is the book biologist and natural historian Bernd Heinrich has been waiting his entire life to write. A dedicated and accomplished marathon (and ultra-marathon) runner who won his first marathon at age 39, Heinrich looks deeply at running, aging, and the body, exploring the unresolved relationship between metabolism, diet, exercise, and age. Why do some bodies age differently than others? How much control do we have over that process, and what effect, if any, does being active have?

I have read about half a dozen of Heinrich’s books and am amazed how he absorbs the reader in the life of birds, insects and trees. I got hooked 20 years ago after reading A Year In The Maine Woods. In Racing The Clock Heinrich also provides details on his fascinating life. He has accomplished much as a biologist and world record holding runner. Heinrich deserves to sing his song. One of his goals is to inspire his fellow man to appreciate and learn about nature and he certainly has done this with my life. As a result of his work I now feel the passion for the outdoors and to continually learn about my surroundings. I will always be grateful for his wonderful and captivating books.
