This large volume accompanies a major exhibition at the Grimaldi Forum in Monaco which focuses, for the first time, on Egypt's queens. The book contains a well-illustrated catalogue of the objects displayed, including visual portrayals of queens, objects owned by queens, objects related to the exercise of royal power, and inscriptions. It also, however, contains a substantial amount of entirely new research, with fifteen essays forming the remainder of the book. Topics include the archaeology of palaces and tombs, the harem, portraying the queen, the religious role of the queen, the exercise of power, and Egyptian queens in myth and popular perception.

Aging represents a physiological and per se non-pathological and multifactorial process involving a set of key genes and mechanisms being triggered by different endogenous and exogenous factors. Since aging is a major risk factor in connection with a variety of human disorders, it is increasingly becoming a central topic in biochemical and medical research. The plethora of theories on aging – some of which have been discussed for decades – are neither isolated nor contradictory but instead can be connected in a network of pathways and processes at the cellular and molecular levels. This book summarizes the most prominent and important approaches, focusing on telomeres, DNA damage and oxidative stress as well as on the possible role of nutrition, the interplay between genes and environment (epigenetics) and intracellular protein homeostasis and introduces some genes that have actually extended life spans in animal models. Linking these different determinants of aging with disease, this volume aims to reveal their multiple interdependencies. We see that there is no single “perfect” theory of aging and that instead it is possible to define what the authors call the molecular aging matrix of the cell. A better knowledge of its key mechanisms and the mutual connections between its components will lead to a better understanding of age-associated disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease.
