The world never actually ceases to condemn the socialist/communist ideology & associated human rights abuse in the erstwhile USSR.. but there were many of their practices which stood out.. like d amount of effort & research the soviet federation devoted in curriculam-book building exercises... Not only were were lucidly written, but also very well researched with associated graphics/pictures.. They were a treat for the young mind.. with colourful printing & world class binding.. I used to enjoy the smell & the feel of my newly purchased books :) Those books has stopped AG :( ..It sunk along with the Soviet Federation.. I particualry am very fond of a 400 page colour-print chemictry book for starters.. It has devoted a separate chapter for every metal,. Its in hindi, named "Kahani Dhatuyun Ki". I wish I had access to their old publications somehow... :( Your blog is superb AG. Keep it up man.. Why don't u start writing a book? WR Nilay Dear AG,
