इवान बेल्किन की कहानियाँ – अ. से. पुश्किन (Collected Stories In Hindi by Alexander Pushkin)

Posted on October 13, 2026 by The Mitr

रूसी लेखक अलेक्सान्द्र पुश्किन की पाँच कहानियों का संग्रह है। इसमें एक काल्पनिक सम्पादकीय परिचय है, जिसमें पुश्किन बेल्किन की कहानियों की शब्दशः प्रस्तुति का दिखावा करते हैं, जबकि ये कहानियाँ दरअसल उनकी ही हैं। वे बताते हैं कि ये सभी कहानियाँ हाल ही में मृत जमींदार इवान पेट्रोविच बेल्किन को विभिन्न लोगों द्वारा सुनाई गयी थीं, जिन्हें यहाँ प्रस्तुत किया गया है। पुश्किन बताते हैं कि बेल्किन एक दिलचस्प और रहस्यमय व्यक्ति था, यहाँ तक कि जिस महिला के लिए उसने अपनी सम्पत्ति छोड़ी थी, वह भी उससे कभी नहीं मिली थी। बेल्किन का पसंदीदा शौक कहानियों को इकट्ठा करना और सुनाना था। संकलन की पाँच कहानियाँ पुश्किन की सर्वश्रेष्ठ, क्लासिकीय और बेहद दिलचस्प कहानियाँ हैं।

तस्वीर (पीटर्सबर्ग की कहानियों से) – निकोलाई गोगोल (Stories And Novellas In Hindi by Nikolai Gogol)

Posted on October 12, 2026 by The Mitr

उन्नीसवीं शताब्दी के महान रूसी गद्यकारों के अग्रज निकोलाई गोगोल (1809-1852) विश्व-साहित्य के अमिट हस्ताक्षर हैं। रूसी साहित्य में काल्पनिक, रूमानी और असाधारण घटनाओं व पात्रों के आदर्शीकरण और आलंकारिक चित्रण की जो पुरानी परिपाटी चली आ रही थी, उसे पूरी तरह नकारते हुए गोगोल ने अपनी रचनाओं में सामाजिक जीवन की सच्ची और स्वाभाविक छवि अंकित की।

Men Vs. Cancer by B. Shubin; Yu. Gritsman

Posted on October 9, 2026 by The Mitr

Cancer is one of the most acute problems that exist in world biology and medicine. It is being tackled by a vast number of scientists and practitioners. Two specialists in the field, both Doctors of Medical Science, wrote this book. Complex questions are made more comprehensible because they are dealt with from the point of view of the founders of different directions in oncology. Achievements in this field, along with the problems still existing, are described, and the numerous legends and myths are countered by true stories about the successful treatment and prevention of this formidable disease. The book is intended both for a wide circle of readers and for medical specialists interested in the problem of cancer.

Science Vs. Cancer by Yu. Gritsman

Posted on October 8, 2026 by The Mitr

The book enters into the series of contributions devoted to the problems of cancer. In language accessible even to those who are not professionally concerned with oncological studies, and with the help of numerous examples from the history of medicine, Professor Yu. Gritsman acquaints the readers with some of the major and most recent achievements in this domain of science. He also devotes significant space to the criticism of the spurious methods of treating this disease, which are advocated by the pseudo-scientists whose practices continue to cause considerable harm to patients.

As its predecessor, Men vs. Cancer by B. Shubina and Yu. Gritsman (English translation, Mir Publishers, 1987), this book will undoubtedly find the appreciation of many readers who will cover its pages with no minor interest.

Electrical Machine Installation And Wiring Practice by M. Kaminsky; V. Poluchankin

Posted on October 7, 2026 by The Mitr

This book covers methods for installing medium and large electrical machines, including their inspection and testing. It addresses the dispatch of electrical machines in assembled condition, focusing on packaging and handling methods. The book also covers hoisting and hauling facilities, fixtures, tools, instruments, and materials used during the installation of electrical machines.

It provides brief information on tolerances and fitting considerations during the mounting process. Recommendations are made for preparing electrical machines for installation, including inspection, acceptance of foundation plates, and marking out basic axes. The installation procedure for electrical machines delivered on-site in a disassembled condition is described in detail, covering the sequence of operations, setting and levelling of bed plates and bearing pedestals, pre-installation tests of rotors and stators, rotor fitting onto the stator, installation of non-split and split stators, and adjustment of gaps between stator and rotor.

Additionally, the book specifies methods for installing electrical machines delivered on-site in an assembled condition, including the installation technique for electrical machines with segmental bearings. It discusses various types of coupling electrical machine shafts to other shafts and their design features, along with compensating abilities. It also covers how to fit half-couplings on shafts, align shafts, and the types of alignment fixtures to use.

The book provides data on the mechanical design and assembly of bearings, particularly the alignment of antifriction bearing shells. It explains how to check and wire electrical machine current-carrying parts, verify commutator surfaces, and adjust the brush gear. Methods for drying moist insulation of electrical machines are outlined, with recommendations for recognizing when a machine can be placed in operation without drying its insulation.

Post-insulation checks, tests, trial starts, and debugging of electrical machines are specified. Finally, the book offers recommendations on the organisation of labour and safety precautions to be observed during the installation of electrical machines.

Physical Chemistry – Volumes 1, 2 by Ya. Gerasimov ( Ed.); Y. A. Gerasimov; V. Dreving; B. Eremin; A. Kiselev; V. Lebedev; G. Panchenkov; A. Shlygin

Posted on October 6, 2026 by The Mitr

About Volume 1

This book is the first volume of a two-volume university course in physical chemistry. It deals with the fundamentals of chemical thermodynamics, the thermodynamics of solutions, chemical and heterogeneous equilibria, surface phenomena, and adsorption. A special chapter is devoted to gas chromatography.

The second volume deals with the kinetics of chemical reactions, catalysis, electrochemistry, and electromotive forces.

The size of the book is mainly due to the fact that the authors have done everything possible to present the fundamentals and their interrelationships in the clearest manner. The mathematical deductions are given in sufficient detail and are explained in a simple manner.

The book is intended for students of chemical faculties in universities and will also be useful for postgraduate students and teachers of physical chemistry. The authors expect that the book will be understood by readers studying physical chemistry for the first time, provided they have a foundational knowledge of mathematics and physics within the scope of the usual courses in these subjects as taught in chemical faculties.

The present first volume of Physical Chemistry was written by well-known scientists in the field: Prof. Yakov Gerasimov, D.Sc., corresponding member of the USSR Academy of Sciences; Vladimir Dreving, Cand.Sc.; and Prof. Andrei Kiselev, D.Sc., under the general editorship of Ya. Gerasimov.

Yakov Gerasimov heads the Chair of Physical Chemistry at Moscow State University. His research focuses on the thermodynamic characteristics of metal sulphides and oxides, the salts of rare metals, liquid and solid metal alloys, semiconductors, and compositions of thermal-insulating materials. He is also deeply involved in the history and methodology of chemistry and has authored over 150 publications, including numerous monographs, textbooks, and articles on physical chemistry.

From 1963 to 1965, he was a titular member of the Commission on Symbols, Terminology, and Units of the Division of Physical Chemistry of the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry.

About Volume 2

This book is the second volume of a university course in physical chemistry and deals with the fundamentals of chemical kinetics, catalysis, and electrochemistry.
It is designed for students of chemical faculties of universities. It will also be useful for postgraduate students and teachers of physical chemistry.

The two volumes of Physical Chemistry include all the sections of the corresponding course envisaged by the syllabus for chemical faculties of universities. The structure of matter is not considered in the present course, since chemical faculties have separate courses in The Structure of Molecules and Crystallo-Chemistry.

The sections of the book designated by asterisks, and also the parts of other sections printed in small type, may be omitted when studying physical chemistry according to a required syllabus. This additional material, which is set out in the same comprehensible manner as the main part of the course, can be used for a more detailed study of the subject.
