So out of our remaining posts for Science for Everyone, as mentioned in Taking Stock we now come to The Grand Biological Clock by V. M. Dilman. Many, many thanks to gnv64 for making this possible.
From the back cover:
Today, as a result of social progress and developments in medicine, the average human lifespan exceeds seventy years. Is this the limit? Why do we age? What mechanism lies at the base of this phenomenon, and are there means to retard it? What is the physiological norm for each age group?
The author, who is a professor and Doctor of Medicine, answers all these questions from the position of modern science.
The book is intended for doctors, biologists, and anyone who is interested in contemporary biomedicine.
The book was translated from the Russian by M. Rosenberg, translation edited by T. Juswigg and was first published by Mir in 1989.

Thanks for the kind words. Yes, the link is dead, as are most other links. I am still trying to cope up with dead links after they deleted all the files from ifile. There is time to reinstate the links, and taking this as an opportunity to find better versions.
The current QM copy of Tarasov is the better one, amongst the ones that we have.
Tarasov’s Calculus has been upped.
