Physical Factors of the Historical Process

The well-known work of Soviet biophysicist Alexander Leonidovich Chizhevsky [1897-1964] is devoted to the study of the influence of periodic sunspot activity on the behavior of organized masses of people and the course of the universal historical process. Since ancient times, many scholars, among whom we can find astrologers and astronomers, philosophers and historians, physicists and sociologists, have pondered the influence of celestial bodies on human behavior and the course of historical processes. The sun, according to A. L. Chizhevsky (1897-1964), is not only the brightest star in the sky, thanks to which life exists on our planet, but also a crucial factor determining the history of humanity. A. L. Chizhevsky's work "Physical Factors of the Historical Process" is the foundation of heliobiology - a science that has been rapidly developing recently. This publication is intended for a wide range of readers interested in the physical basis of regularities observed in the world.
