Abstract

SHS investigation development is considered from the geographical and historical viewpoint. 3 stages are described. Within Stage 1 the work was carried out in the Department of the Institute of Chemical Physics in Chernogolovka where the scientific discovery had been made. At Stage 2 the interest to SHS arose in different cities and towns of the former USSR. Within Stage 3 SHS entered the international scene. Now SHS processes and products are being studied in more than 50 countries.

Abstract

One way of appreciating the adaptive potential of the emerging self is to examine the lives of individuals whose adult years have been characterized by generativity rather than stagnation (Erikson, 1963). These are human beings who experience significant adversities in their lives yet are able to move beyond these adversities in adulthood to make remarkable contributions to others and to society. In the following appendix, the lives of three individuals, who are discussed in chapter 1, are summarized. Each of them transcended various adversities - racism, trauma and poverty - to make important contributions to the world.
