The biography of Kovalsky
Literary studies of the work and personality of a scientist, especially having wide philosophical and artistic thinking, is a complex and interesting area. The author performed significant work on the analysis of an extensive actual material, which became the basis of the book “Rhythms of earthly life: about the life path and work of V. the Book is dedicated to one of the brightest representatives of the domestic intelligentsia of the twentieth century, a member of the Corrective of the Subslines, professor Viktor Vladislavovich Kovalsky, an outstanding Russian Soviet scientist, laureate of Leninsky The prizes and awards named after V.
his activity was full of research in different fields of natural science - biogeochemistry, evolutionary biochemistry, biochemistry and physiology of animals, zootechnics, ecology, etc. In addition, he is known as a poet and an original artist. The first part of the publication includes a description of the life path and scientific activity of V. Biography of V. Kovalsky as a study is interesting to multifaceted research and scale.
He was working with famous scientists, among his colleagues and students there are many people who are in.
Throughout the summer research and pedagogical activity, V. Kovalsky has always remained a true NATU-Rabist, who could cover nature as a whole with his thinking. The large volume of scientific data and archival materials reveals the outstanding role of V. Kovalsky in the development of evolutionary teachings, the creation of the doctrine of trace elements, the knowledge of biological and biogeochemical processes that occur with the participation of trace elements in the animal organism and the natural environment.
In the field of evolutionary biochemistry and physiology V. Kovalsky, original directions of biochemical study of the evolution of organisms were created, the issues of the chemical variability of organisms, as well as the patterns of astronomical and biological rhythms and their evolutionary role. For the first time, the theoretical and practical foundations of the use of trace elements in agriculture, in particular in animal husbandry, as well as human medicine and human nutrition, were developed in the USSR.
Vernadsky RAS. In fact, Viktor Vladislavovich Kovalsky laid out the scientific foundations of industrial production of treatment and preventive drugs and feed enriched with microelements. The identification of the general laws of the interaction of organisms and their communities with the natural and technogenic geochemical environment of the biosphere led to the creation of another scientific direction - the geochemical ecology of microorganisms, plants, animals and humans.
The author of the book describes in detail the stages of the development and development of the provisions of geochemical ecology and the biogeochemical zoning system of the biosphere, during the development of which the data of geochemical ecology were used: the biogeochemical food chain of chemical elements and the paths of their biogenic cycle; threshold concentrations of chemical elements in the soil, feed, food and diets; The action of chemical elements on enzymes regulating the main links of their metabolism and the adaptation of the animal and plant organisms to the conditions of the geochemical environment of the geochi named after The wide erudition of the scientist-biogeochemist, physiologist, biochemist and ecologist-allowed V.
Kovalsky to consider the influence of biogeochemical factors on different levels of structural organization of living matter: biochemical molecular biological and cellular, physiological organism, environmental and biocenological levels of ecosystem, biocenosis and biocenosis and biocenosis and biocenosis and biocenosis and biocenosis and biocenosis and biocenosis and biocenosis and biocenosis and biocenosis and biocenosis and biocenosis and biocenosis and biocenosis and biocenosis and biocenosis and biocenosis and biocenosis and biocenosis and biocenosis and biocenosis and biocenosis and biocenosis and biocenosis and biocenosis and biocenosis and biocenosis and biocenosis and biocenosis and biocenosis and biocenosis and biocenosis, and biospheres.
Such a wide approach and amazing ability to generalize, characteristic of the scientist, significantly increase the scientific and applied value of his heritage. The original areas of the study of biogeochemical heterogeneity of the biosphere developed by V. Kovalsky are relevant and are of great importance for agriculture, medicine, and ecology. The author of the book on the actual material managed to show the main aspects of the activity of a scientist who worked in a wide range of scientific directions and life interests.
Kovalsky enriched domestic and world science by the works of primary scientific and practical significance, became the founder of the scientific school on the problems of geochemical ecology and continental biogeochemistry. The second part tells about the literary and artistic legacy of the scientist, samples of his poetic creativity are given. The book is illustrated by colorful reproductions of the original picturesque works of V.
Kovalsky and photographs from the family archive, saturated with excerpts from memories and letters, written with love and warmth. In general, it quite fully reveals the spiritual world of one of their remarkable representatives of Russian science, naturalist, explorer-experimenter, poet and artist, talented, intelligent and charming person. The publication provides a bibliography with an assessment of scientific and literary and artistic creativity of V.
Kovalsky, including its published poems. In conclusion, we note that in the book, in our opinion, not enough attention is allocated to some areas of well -known studies of V.Undoubtedly, the publication of the monograph by Yu. Kovalsky, revealing the multifaceted image of an outstanding, extraordinary scientist and deserving the attention of a wide circle of readers, should be welcomed.
The book is also addressed to those who are interested in the history of science and the psychology of the creative process, and, of course, researchers working in different areas of agricultural science, biogeochemistry, biochemistry, medicine, ecology, etc.
