Released in the prestigious \"Classics of Science\" (Klassiki nauki) series by the USSR Academy of Sciences, it represents a crucial moment in the scientific and moral rehabilitation of Nikolai Ivanovich Vavilov (1887–1943). Vavilov, one of the greatest biologists of the 20th century, was a victim of Stalinist repressions who died in prison, but his theories remained the foundation of modern agricultural science.\u003cbr\u003eThe collection encompasses Vavilov's most transformative works, including his definitive research on the Law of Homologous Series in Variation and his groundbreaking theory of the Centers of Origin of Cultivated Plants. These works detail his global expeditions across five continents, where he collected over 250,000 samples to establish the world's first global seed bank (now the Vavilov Institute of Plant Industry, VIR). The set provides the technical depth required by specialists while offering a narrative of scientific discovery that changed the world’s understanding of biodiversity.\u003cbr\u003eThis edition is meticulously prepared: it was edited and annotated by the prominent geneticist F. Kh. Bakhteev, and features a profound introductory essay by Pyotr Zhukovsky, Vavilov’s student and colleague. Their contributions ensure that the scientific context is preserved with historical accuracy, highlighting how Vavilov’s work anticipated modern genomics and global food security efforts. The design by D. S. Danilov reflects the sober, high-quality aesthetic of Soviet academic publishing of the late 1960s.\u003cbr\u003eSurviving complete sets of this 1967 edition are highly valued by historians of science and bibliophiles alike. It is not only a record of brilliant scientific thought but also a symbol of the ultimate triumph of truth over political dogma. For any collection focused on genetics, botany, or the history of science, this set is an indispensable cornerstone.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stanza Rare Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43963207450666,"sku":"EB-306366805953","price":200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0701\/6359\/5306\/files\/57_c4d4fcf2-5f43-4cae-89b8-a411ee1a5dc8.jpg?v=1768162670","url":"https:\/\/stanzararebooks.com\/products\/%d0%b2%d0%b0%d0%b2%d0%b8%d0%bb%d0%be%d0%b2-%d0%b8%d0%b7%d0%b1%d1%80%d0%b0%d0%bd%d0%bd%d1%8b%d0%b5-%d0%bf%d1%80%d0%be%d0%b8%d0%b7%d0%b2%d0%b5%d0%b4%d0%b5%d0%bd%d0%b8%d1%8f-%d0%ba%d0%bb%d0%b0%d1%81%d1%81%d0%b8%d0%ba%d0%b8-%d0%bd%d0%b0%d1%83%d0%ba%d0%b8-1967-vavilov-works-geneticist-rare","provider":"Stanza Rare Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
