"The book about K.A. Timiryazev is a masterly endeavor to present a comprehensive account of the eminent scientist's life within the volume of only a hundred some odd pages....In the first half of the book special prominence is given to Timiryazev's educational and cultural background. Many pages are devoted to his contacts with leading representatives of Russian culture and science, as well as with Charles Darwin himself.....The second half of the book is a presentation of Timiryazev's activities as an experimentor, educatot and popularizer of the achievements of the natural sciences. His most important work was on the nature of chlorophyll and on spectral analysis, which led to many interesting discoveries." -- back cover
