The Earth in the Embrace of the Sun

«The Earth in the Embrace of the Sun» — the main work of A.L. Chizhevsky, in which the scientist first expressed the idea of the influence of solar activity on the inanimate world, the biosphere, and social processes. Since the physical basis of such an impact was completely unexplored at that time, many did not share these views and regarded them skeptically. But time confirmed the correctness of the statements that the Earth is in «the embrace of the Sun», and the solar-terrestrial connections that A.L. Chizhevsky first spoke about attract close attention from researchers worldwide today.
