Summary:	""Pages from My Life" is historical testament, that gives the reader the opportunity to witness the 100-year life of an outstanding scientist, a man ahead of his era, who devoted his life to true science, and did not succumb to political pressures. This book will allow the reader to experience with the author the joys and fears, achievements, trials and tribulations--in the constantly changing scenery of political realities, revolutions, wars, collapses of empires. "Pages ..." is a window into an everyday life of the last century, with its forgotten elements, stories and anecdotes, the author's understanding of the political and social events in the country that no longer exists, his observations and predictions about the future. This brilliantly written memoir brings to life, history and characters--sometimes ordinary people, sometimes--very famous contemporaries. The author begins his story in the Russian Empire, then continues in the Soviet Union and ends in North America. The relentless struggle of the author for preservation of nature in Armenia runs like a red thread in these memoirs as he recounts how he saved the unique Lake Sevan from complete drainage and prevented the contamination of the Ararat plain and its groundwater with regional radioactive waste."--
