good candidates for playing important roles in aging. However, few studies have
gone beyond simple measurements of mRNA abundance. On the other hand,
there are chapters describing novel ways to measure the accumulation of
mutations in intact organisms or the use of transgenic animals to study
transcriptional control, but none report results of these techniques applied to
aging organisms or cells. The value in many of these chapters lies not so much
in their content as in the implications of the approach and the data for directions
for future research. And recent studies from these authors and other laboratories
suggest that the data in some of these chapters are indeed interesting
springboards for more molecular analyses.
If this book has a dearth of chapters on novel genes, their introduction into
cells or organisms, the identification of age-specific regulatory DNA sequences
or nucleic acid binding proteins, and other hallmarks of the arrival of molecular
biology to a field, it reflects the situation of molecular aging research. Important
steps have clearly been taken, and if the molecular biology of aging advances as
fast as, for example, the molecular biology of cancer, one may expect this book
to be out of date very soon. On the other hand, the assumption that molecular
biology will unravel the mysteries of aging as rapidly as it has the mysteries of
cancer may be naive. For the time being, this book should give investigators
both within and outside the field of basic aging research some interesting
systems and molecular hints to think about.

I. Read the book-review and state what information it carries.
II. Answer these questions:
1) What has begun to be fulfilled for some areas of biology?
2) Why will be readers largely disappointed in the authors’ view?
3) What does the book cover?
4) What is the best chapter in the authors’ view?
5) What is the way the data in some chapters are called by the reviewers?
III. Find in the text the English counterparts of these bits of the Russian translation:
1. молекулярная биология развития и рака являются осязаемыми и
жизнеспособными областями
2. книга представляет собой скорее всего свидетельство надежд в
области молекулярной биологии, а документ о ее достижениях в
исследовании старения
3. книга покрывает разнообразный спектр тем в генетике,
биохимии и биологии клетки
4. отражает, питающиеся разнообразной пищей, следствия старения
