Description
"Why is it that the inhabitants of the Mediterranean island of Sardinia are two or three times as likely as any other people on earth to reach 100? Is it a longevity gene inherited from mysterious Neolithic ancestors? Is it a frugal diet of organic produce, or the legacy of a life of hard physical work in a pristine environment? Their attitude to life, or the warm bonds of family and community? Journalist Ben Hills travels with photographer Mayu Kanamori around this island of the ancients, meeting up with a cast of colourful centenarians while capturing Sardinia's glorious landscape and lifestyle."--Provided by publisher.
