Fokin, Leonid. Synthesis of Ammonia and Organic Products from Coke and Water Gases.
Leningrad : Scientific Chemical-Technical Publishing House, 1930.
452 pp. : ill., portr., charts, diagr., maps, plans ; 25x17 cm. Hardcover, standard format. Print run: 2,000 copies. 

This 1930 lifetime edition by the distinguished Soviet engineer and chemist Leonid Filippovich Fokin represents a cornerstone of early Soviet industrial science, published at the height of the First Five-Year Plan. Issued in Leningrad by the Scientific Chemical-Technical Publishing House, the work focuses on the revolutionary chemical processes required to synthesize ammonia and organic compounds—such as methanol and liquid fuels—from industrial by-products like coke and water gases. As the Soviet Union pushed for rapid industrialization and agricultural modernization, Fokin's research provided the theoretical and practical blueprint for the creation of a domestic fertilizer industry and the chemical foundations of national defense. The volume is an exhaustive technical manual comprising 452 pages filled with intricate technical drawings, fold-out charts, diagrams, and industrial plans that detail the high-pressure reactors and catalytic systems utilized in the Haber-Bosch process and its Soviet adaptations.
Beyond its chemistry, the book offers a unique historical perspective through its inclusion of maps and plans of chemical plants, documenting the territorial expansion of the USSR's industrial power during the early Stalinist era. The text provides a deep typological analysis that offers a deep dive into the internal logic of heavy industry development, including the arrangement of catalytic stages and the integration of coal-gasification units within the broader industrial infrastructure. With a limited print run of only 2,000 copies, this large-format hardcover is a rare survivor of the pre-war academic press and serves as a primary source for historians of science, chemical engineers, and collectors of early Soviet technical literature, capturing the moment when laboratory chemistry transitioned into a massive state-led industrial force.
