"The internet is a wonderful and powerful tool that is changing the way we learn and the way we stay in touch," he added, "but unfortunately there are risks from those intent on exploiting its benefits."
"A Internet Ă© uma ferramenta maravilhosa e poderosa que estĂĄ mudando a forma como aprendemos e como nos mantemos em contato", acrescentou, "mas infelizmente existem riscos por parte daqueles que pretendem explorar os seus benefĂ­cios".

YOUTH PROLONGED: OLD AGE POSTPONED
JUVENTUDE PROLONGADA: VELHICE ADIADA
by Robert Weale (King's College London, UK)
What exactly is human ageing? Can it be slowed down? These questions have puzzled scientists and laymen alike for generations, and continue to do so today. The author addresses these thought-provoking issues by challenging pre-conceived notions of age-perception, age-acceptance and inter-age relations.
O que Ă© exatamente o envelhecimento humano? Pode ser retardado? Estas questĂ”es tĂȘm intrigado cientistas e leigos durante geraçÔes e continuam a intrigĂĄ-los atualmente. O autor aborda estas questĂ”es estimulantes, desafiando noçÔes prĂ©-concebidas de perceção da idade, aceitação da idade e relaçÔes entre idades.
Pertinent matters of age-related communication are dealt with, and the reader is treated to a grand tour of the latest theories of ageing, age-related biological changes and age-related diseases, such as Alzheimer's Disease.
São abordadas questÔes pertinentes da comunicação relacionada com a idade e o leitor é brindado com uma visita guiada às mais recentes teorias do envelhecimento, às alteraçÔes biológicas relacionadas com a idade e às doenças relacionadas com a idade, como a doença de Alzheimer.
Here, the author's expertise in agerelated eye diseases truly comes into its own. Weale's unique work not only underlines important genetic and avoidable risk factors but gives ample consideration to possible consequences stemming from different early lifestyles.
Neste ponto, a experiĂȘncia do autor em doenças oculares relacionadas com a idade Ă© verdadeiramente importante. O trabalho Ășnico de Weale nĂŁo sĂł sublinha importantes factores de risco genĂ©ticos e evitĂĄveis, como tambĂ©m dĂĄ ampla consideração Ă s possĂ­veis consequĂȘncias decorrentes de diferentes estilos de vida precoces.
Readers will re-consider their ideas of what it means to age, and gain a better understanding of what can and cannot slow down the process of ageing.
Os leitores irĂŁo reconsiderar as suas ideias sobre o que significa envelhecer e compreender melhor o que pode e o que nĂŁo pode abrandar o processo de envelhecimento.
