520    "In What Makes Olga Run? Bruce Grierson explores what the 
       wild success of a ninety-three-year-old track star can 
       tell us about how our bodies and minds age. Olga Kotelko 
       is not your average ninety-three-year-old. She not only 
       looks and acts like a much younger woman, she holds over 
       twenty-three world records in track and field, seventeen 
       in her current ninety to ninety-five category. Convinced 
       that this remarkable woman could help unlock many of the 
       mysteries of aging, Grierson set out to uncover what it is
       that's driving Olga. He considers every piece of the 
       puzzle, from her diet and sleep habits to how she scores 
       on various personality traits, from what she does in her 
       spare time to her family history. Olga participates in 
       tests administered by some of the world's leading 
       scientists and offers her DNA to groundbreaking research 
       trials. What emerges is not only a tremendously uplifting 
       personal story but a look at the extent to which our 
       health and longevity are determined by the DNA we inherit 
       at birth, and the extent to which we can shape that 
       inheritance. It examines the sum of our genes, 
       opportunities, and choices, and the factors that forge the
       course of any life, especially during"--|cProvided by
