      Amerigo Vespucci is the same person who gave his name to America in 1507. Whether he deserved to have an entire continent named after him, or not, the debate continues to this day. In this first critical biography of Vespucci, we follow him from Lorenzo de' Medici's Florence to Ferdinand and Isabella's Seville, across Columbus' Atlantic to our hero's meeting with the New World on the other side of the ocean. The image of Vespucci is unsteady - it remains as elusive as in the Florentine half-light of his youth - but we get to know him so close for the first time. No matter how little we know about what happened to Vespucci and about his own actions, after reading this book the reader will better understand both the famous Florentine and the era of great geographical discoveries.

Zalmanov, an outstanding scientist, three times Doctor of Medicine (Russia, Germany, Italy), General of the Medical Service: "The Secret Wisdom of the Human Organism", "The Miracle of Life", "Thousands of Ways to Recovery". His books are a lively, figurative and emotional conversation with the reader about the natural defenses of the body and ways to stimulate them, a passionate speech against the widespread and often unjustified use of antibiotics and chemotherapeutic agents for any reason, which often have a detrimental effect on the body. The core idea of ​​the published works of the outstanding doctor and scientist is the "wisdom of the body", its ability to self-regulate as self-healing in case of various "breakdowns". Influenced by the works of A. Krogh, who received the Nobel Prize in Medicine for his work on the physiology of capillaries, Zalmanov created his own concept based on his vast experience in healing numerous patients with chronic diseases. Treatment according to Zalmanov primarily consists of reviving capillaries. He proved that capillary therapy can be used not only for treatment, but also for prevention of aging. His ideas about the leading role of capillaries in the body and the need to restore impaired capillary blood flow are more relevant than ever before today. The method of capillary therapy he developed and the recipes for white, yellow and mixed turpentine baths have helped many, many thousands of patients. Foreword by Academician of the USSR Academy of Medical Sciences and the USSR Academy of Sciences V. N. Chernigovsky.
