Biography of Mendeleev download

The legacy, bequeathed to us with this giant of scientific thought and scientific affairs, is truly inexhaustible. Born in the year and still on a student bench in the year, starting scientific work, D. Mendeleev, until his death, was fruitfully and intensely working on the development of chemical science and factory affairs in Russia. He left a bright mark not only in all areas of chemistry and its applications, but also in a number of related disciplines, the development of which he contributed to his authority, prompting activity and inspiring Russian scientists.

The largest achievement of the scientific genius of D. Mendeleev was the discovery of the mutual connection of all atoms in the universe, which found its expression in the periodic law of chemical elements. This law, on which Mendeleev himself worked for almost forty years, finding more and more confirmations of his discovery, clarifying and deepening it, even during his lifetime, and especially in front of our generation, after his death, he turned into an unquenchable lighthouse, which illuminated and illuminates the new ways of searches.

Currently, the periodic law of chemical elements has gained the meaning of the deepest law of nature. In this book, which does not claim to be an exhaustive analysis of the work of D. Mendeleev, showing him in the most important, most basic features, you will find a deep portrait of the great chemist, whose motto was the saying: "The scientific sowing will rise to folk harvest." It is depicted without embellishment, like the son of his time.

Separate errors and breakdowns in his worldview are not attached here. But at the same time, you will feel, reading this book, as the advanced thought of the best people of Russian science, has invariably sought to find the right road on the materialistic path of natural science, preparing that wonderful heyday of all sciences, which is the property and banner of the Soviet era.

The author managed to see and, taking advantage of the new and little -known wide audience, show us against the backdrop of these searches the true appearance of Mendeleev in the laboratory of his thoughts and creativity. The words of Mendeleev, with which the author ends the book, is actually the key to it. I would like that with these beautiful words you begin your acquaintance with Mendeleev, who always remembered and felt that work is the joy and fullness of life.
