Bacon · History of Life and Death

Francis Bacon's History of Life and Death (1623) — the West's first attempt to study aging and longevity by empirical, experimental method. Bacon made the prolongation of life a goal of his new science, framed aging as the body's slow 'consumption and desiccation,' and proposed an operative program to slow decay, perfect repair, and renew worn matter. Nine modules — bilingual (Chinese lectures + English teaching), with Chinese MP3 narration. (Wellness-focused; his period remedies are historical, not health advice.)
