A book of Russian poetry. From the back cover is this translated description from the author: "The chemist scientist Dmitry Mendeleev, the periodic table he discovered. The people knew him as a tactful man. He introduced himself to students every time, we should not ignore this tradition, either. In rhyming text I'll try to do the same. So here I am, Litvinova Angelina (my name I shortened on the cover, I didn't want to spoil it with its length) My age announced in rhyme. (A tiny tot I was during wartime). And later on I studied, cured people, and even earned an academic title... My debt "to health" I paid to science. My daughter, grandkids gave me. This book to them I dedicated. I hope they grow and have the best of luck. These little boys give meaning to my life."
