Produktinformationen zu „Science and Medicine in Imperial Russia (ePub)“
The author's intention to write "Science and Medicine in Imperial Russia" was to acquaint the American medical and scientific professionals, and, hopefully, the general public, with the accomplishments of Russian scientists and physicians in the areas of their professions. The authors has limited his story to medicine, chemistry, and biology, the areas of his extended experience. American public's thinking, due to a number of reasons, is that Imperial Russia was a "swamp" (to use President Trump's expression), in which nothing of medical or scientific importance has ever been discovered or developed. This author, of course, thinks otherwise, and presents in this volume an ample amount of evidence to show that in the fields listed above, the accomplishments of the Russians were surprisingly numerous. As an example, one can cite the discoveries of Russian organic chemists (especially at the Kazan University), which, arguably, were exceeded only by the Germans. The problem in Russia was the lack of funds to put the basic science discoveries to practical use. As an example, one can mention the discovery of the aniline synthesis method by Zinin, a professor at Kazan University. Aniline became the basis for the synthesis of modern dyes, immediately picked by Western European nations, but not by the Russians. And such lists of accomplishments without putting them into practical use were many. This book provides descriptions of Russia's discoveries, largely using original scientific and medical publications written by its scientists and physicians of Russia in Russian -lunguage journals, of which there were many, or, for the most part, in German publications. The Russians published largely in German, and less so in French journals in order to have a broader audience. Few foreigners knew the Russian language, but all knew German and/or French.
Autoren-Porträt von Anatoly Bezkorovainy
Anatoly Bezkorovainy was born in Riga, Latvia in 1935, of Russian immigrant parents Ignaty and Olga Bezkoroviany who left Russia in the early 1920's following the Bolshevik revolution. They were married in Riga in 1930. Anatoly's brother George was born in 1938. In September 1944, the Bezkorovainys, along with numerous Latvian inhabitants, moved to Germany as the Soviet troops were approaching Riga. In Germany, after the war, the Bezkorovainys lived in a DP camp in town of Eutin (Schleswig-Holstein), where Anatoly graduated from a Latvian grammar school and entered a German high school. In 1951, the family emigrated to the U.S., where they settled in Chicago and Anatoly graduated from high school in 1953. He then went to the University of Chicago, and graduated in 1956 with a BS degree in biochemistry. He then began his graduate studies in biochemistry at the University of Illinois and graduated with a Ph.D. degree in 1960 After a post-doctoral position at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory and a year at the USDA Animal Disease Laboratory in Ames, Iowa, he joined the Rush Medical College as an Assistant Professor (1962), where he remained until his retirement in 2005. During that time, he was promoted to Professor (1973) and for 20 last years there served as an Associate Chairman of the Department of Biochemistry in charge of medical and graduate student teaching. Some 10 graduate students were awarded their Ph.D. degrees under his sponsorship. During that period of time, he was married to Marilyn Grib (1964) and the family was doubled by the birth of 2 sons, Gregory (1965) and Alexander (1969). Gregory eventually became a technical writer and lives in New York, and Alexander became a history teacher and now works in a high school in Phoenix, Arizona. In 2005, Anatoly retired from Rush with the title of Professor Emeritus and moved with his wife to Galena, Illinois. They remained there for 10 years, and in 2015, moved to Phoenix, Arizona to be near Alexander, as

Marilyn came down with Parkinson's disease and needed constant attention. All in all, Anatoly has published about 130 research papers in biochemical journals, and some ten books, six on various biochemical subjects and 4 (including this) on Russia's history.
