The World of Scientist Mendeleev. How Scientific Discoveries Are Born

A scientist-encyclopedist. A great chemist. An innovator and inventor. All this can be said about Dmitry Mendeleev, one of the most famous Russian scientists. He was not only a chemist, but also a physicist, metrologist, economist, oilman, educator, and meteorologist, to name just a few. In this book, you will learn not only about how the famous periodic table was created but also about Mendeleev's other works, discoveries, and experiments: about scientific papers and textbooks, contributions to the oil industry, and a flight in a hot air balloon, experiments with solutions, and much more. We invite you to observe together how scientific discoveries are born. And perhaps even find inspiration for your first steps in science.
