Molecules and Life [antikvár]

PREFACE TO THE TRANSLATION The Russian edition of this book was published in the Fall of 1965; the manuscript had been finished a year earlier. Since then, many changes have taken place in molecular biology. No other field of science is currently undergoing as rapid a development. As a result, this book has been extensively revised for the translation, and much new material has been introduced. And yet, even this version will to some extent be obsolete at the time the translation appears in print. This, of course, cannot be helped. I believe, however, that the basic concepts of molecular biophysics which are the subject of this book will remain significant for a considerable length of time. M. V. Vorkenshtein
