  Подарочная книга в кожаном переплете "Первые основания металлургии или рудных дел" в коробе Подарочная книга в кожаном переплете "Первые основания металлургии или рудных дел" в коробе Это знаменитое научное произведение М.В. Ломоносова, ставшее первым учебником горного дела в России, было подготовлено в течение длительного периода его изысканий и опубликовано незадолго до его кончины. В этом важнейшем труде Ломоносов сумел консолидировать вместе главные области знаний о «натуре» и наметить фундаментальные проблемы дальнейшего развития наук о земле. Во второй части своей работы, "О рудных местах и жилах и о прииске их", он глубоко проник в самую суть непонятых в его время явлений. Без всякого преувеличения звучат слова В.И. Вернадского, сказанные более чем сто лет назад о М.В. Ломоносове, как о предстающем «нашим современником по тем задачам и целям, которые он ставил научному исследованию».

  Leather-bound book "300 years of the Russian Prosecutor's Office" Leather-bound book "300 years of the Russian Prosecutor's Office" The book you are holding in your hands is a discovery book. For the first time in Russian historiography, it sets out the stages of the formation of the prosecutor's office in a reasoned and most complete manner, and not from the day Peter I signed the decree on January 12, 1722, but from the moment of the birth of this institution in the depths of the Russian legal system to the present day. Going deeper into history, the study takes us back to earlier times. At the same time, it not only opens readers' eyes to the first shoots of the future prosecutor's field, but also returns from oblivion a whole galaxy of hitherto unknown heads of the prosecutor's office and other lawyers, whose names had previously been buried in archives and were not in demand from foreign sources. Thanks to the work carried out by the author, this publication allows us to learn about many of our compatriots, whose deeds and deeds were performed with reason and nobility and should forever be inscribed on the tablets of history. In addition, for the first time in the book, the activities of the prosecutor's office are reflected in the context of the development of society, legislation and the processes taking place in the country. An important semantic load in this publication is carried by previously unpublished documents and unknown facts. In some cases, they help to rethink well-known events, evaluate historical figures in a different way, and better understand the motivation for making certain decisions in our Fatherland, which, as it turns out, were once most directly related to the prosecutor's office. A special place in the book is given to the heads of the system, as well as other prominent figures of the state and justice, who left a noticeable mark in the history of the state and the prosecutor's office. Everything described in the book is presented concisely and impartially against the background of a wide historical canvas.

  Leather-bound gift book "The History of the special services of the Russian Empire" Leather-bound gift book "The History of the special services of the Russian Empire" Special services have existed for as long as the states themselves exist: any strong government is based on protecting the state from threats from external and internal enemies.

This masterpiece will be a worthy addition to your collection of rare books, not just decorating the interior, but imbuing it with the spirit of the era, courage and unwavering resilience. The Strelki on the Petra is more than a chronicle of events, it is an ode to courage, dedication and unshakeable faith in the rule of law. This book does not just tell, it returns to the moments when the choice between good and evil was not obvious, and when the feat was everyday.
