Description

This book is an english translation from russian.Preface:TO THE ENGLISH READER This book was published in Russian several years ago. Since then much has changed; important discoveries have been made in electrophysiology. Development of the knowledge of electricity and its practical application has been broad and diversified, particularly its application in electronics, electro-chemistry and power engineering. Conceptions have greatly altered and new interpretations have appeared. It is now obvious that at the elementary particle level, electricity is much more significant than was formerly supposed. The nonuniform concentration of electrons in a semiconductor, for instance, provides interesting knowledge of macropro-cesses, making them a new type of primary transducers of information. Moreover, a change in the interdirection of the elementary particles in the atom imparts new properties to molecules. Consequently some principles should undoubtedly be set forth differently, but after rereading the book I have come to the conclusion that what is of greater importance is not out-dated. And the important thing is that knowledge of electri-city in man is of the greatest significance and as yet constitutes a vast realm of the unexplored. The more we know about electricity in man, the more suc-cessful we shall be in solving practical problems in its appli-cation. I therefore consider myself fully justified in leaving the basic content of the book without substantial revision. The experience of many years observation in man is not obsolete, has not lost its importance. At the beginning of the 19th century electrophysiology and electrical engineering developed in different directions, but in time the two will merge into a single science of electricity…Please contribute back by OCRing and Spellcheck/Proofreading this book. I recommend ABBYY Finereader 11 (or similar) for doing this work in a relatively easy way. If you plan to do that please leave a comment here so the effort won’t be duplicated by others. Please upload back the final pdf. Thank you.Please note that the high quality scan images are posted here for a specific purpose – to make it easy to OCR/spellcheck the book and not spend 100 hours doing that from a crappy, lossy compressed pdfs that are sometimes posted here. So please don’t waste your time asking why this is not a pdf file. Instead please contribute a few hours of your time and OCR and proofread the posted book. Thank you.
