Amphibian Man is a science fiction adventure novel by the Soviet Russian writer Alexander Belyaev, first published in 1928. Argentinian doctor Salvator, a scientist and a maverick surgeon, performs a life saving transplant on his son, Ichthyander. The experiment was a success but it limited the young man's ability to interact with the world outside his ocean environment. He has to spend much of his time in water. Pedro Surita, local pearl gatherer, learns about Ichthyander and tries to exploit boy's superhuman diving abilities. Similar to other works by Beliaev, the book investigates the possibilities of physical survival under extreme conditions, as well as the moral integrity of scientific experiments. It also touches on socialist ideas of improving living conditions for the world's poor.

Roman �Chelovek-amfibiya� chitaetsya s nemalym udivleniem. Rech' ne stol'ko ob obstoyatel'stvakh, skol'ko o geroyakh: na stranitsakh romana vy ne naydete blagorodnogo, nemnogo naivnogo doktora Sal'vatora, mechtayushchego sozdat' podvodnuyu utopiyu, ne vstretite voploshchennyy obraz tragichnoy krasavitsy Guttiere i ee neputevogo, alchnogo, no sokhranivshego ostatki doblesti ottsa. I naivnogo blagorodnogo yunoshu Ikhtiandra vy ne vstretite - on sovsem drugoy blagodarya osobennostyam �vospitaniya� svoego �priemnogo ottsa�. Doktor Sal'vator sovsem ne dobryy doktor Aybolit, a kholodnyy, raschetlivyy i poistine besserdechnyy uchenyy-estestvoispytatel'. Da, tseli ego blagorodny - lechit' bolezni, razvivat' potentsial cheloveka, issledovat' morskie glubiny. No svoi khirurgicheskie opyty nad zhivymi sushchestvami on stavit prevyshe eticheskikh tsennostey. Ikhtiandr dlya nego skoree domashnyaya zverushka - udachnyy eksperiment, nezheli priemnyy syn. On rastit ego sotsial'no neprisposoblennym, yavno ne planiruya vypuskat' v svet, k lyudyam. K slovu, u professora est' obez'yana-amfibiya, kuda bolee udachnyy eksperiment, po ego sobstvennomu priznaniyu. Gde eto vidano, chtoby uchennyy stavil eksperiment na cheloveke prezhde, chem na obez'yane? Imenno takov on - Sal'vator. O poyavlenii Ikhtiandra v dome doktora voobshche otdel'nyy razgovor. Formennoe pokhishchenie - kidnepping! Neudivitel'no. Ved' odnim iz tolchkov k napisaniyu romana posluzhila nekaya zametka v gazete pro sud nad argentinskim doktorom, �provodyashchim svyatotatstvennye opyty�.Sleduyushchaya sostavlyayushchaya, dobavlyayushchaya v syuzhet romana ne lozhku, a polnyy bochonok besprosvetnosti - klerikal'naya. Doktor Sal'vator i kapitan Zurita prosto deti nevinnye po sravneniyu s episkopom Khuanom de Garsilasso, vozveshchayushchim ot imeni Boga o bogoprotivnosti sushchestv, izmenennykh khirurgicheski, i prizyvayushchim k ikh total'nomu unichtozheniyu. Vot takaya, filosofskaya kniga pro cheloveka-amfibiyu. Chto razbavlyaet mrak, tak eto neveroyatno yarkie i obraznye opisaniya okeana, so vsemi ego kraskami i igroy sveta, bystrymi techeniyami i podvodnymi obitatelyami. Deystvitel'no, polnoe pogruzhenie - chuvstvuesh' zhivoe prikosnovenie struy techeniya, shelkovuyu kozhu del'fina i teplo solnechnykh luchey v tolshche okeanskikh voln. Tem sil'nee shokiruet zavershayushchiy i porazitel'nyy povorot syuzheta - absolyutnoe otsutstvie zasluzhennogo nakazaniya dlya zlodeev i vozdayaniya dlya polozhitel'nykh geroev. Eto bolee zhiznenno v real'nom mire, no tak nespravedlivo i nepravil'no v mire knizhnom, gde dobro obyazano vostorzhestvovat', gde zlo dolzhno byt' nakazano!

The Amphibian will throw you back to a time when skin and deep-sea diving had not yet made the Silent World begin yielding up its secrets on a really big scale, as aqualung and snorkel are doing today, and present to you Alexander Belayev's 1928 prevision of the ocean mastered by mankind. Argentinean doctor Salvator, a scientist and a maverick surgeon, gives his son, Ichthyander a life-saving transplant - a set of shark gills. The experiment is a success but it limits the young man's ability to interact with the world outside his ocean environment. He has to spend much of his time in water. Pedro Zurita, a local pearl gatherer, learns about Ichthyander and tries to exploit the boy's superhuman diving abilities.

New species of animal and plant are being discovered all the time. When this happens, the new species has to be given a scientific, Latin name in addition to any common, vernacular name. In either case the species may be named after a person, often the discoverer but sometimes an individual they wished to honour or perhaps were staying with at the time the discovery was made. Species names related to a person are ‘eponyms’. Many scientific names are allusive, esoteric and even humorous, so an eponym dictionary is a valuable resource for anyone, amateur or professional, who wants to decipher the meaning and glimpse the history of a species name. Sometimes a name refers not to a person but to a fictional character or mythological figure. The Forest Stubfoot Toad Atelopus farci is named after the FARC, a Colombian guerrilla army who found refuge in the toad’s habitat and thereby, it is claimed, protected it. Hoipollo's Bubble-nest Frog Pseudophilautus hoipolloi was named after the Greek for ‘the many’, but someone assumed the reference was to a Dr Hoipollo. Meanwhile, the man who has everything will never refuse an eponym: Sting's Treefrog Dendropsophus stingi is named after the rock musician, in honour of his ‘commitment and efforts to save the rainforest’. Following the success of their Eponym Dictionary of Reptiles, the authors have joined forces to give amphibians a similar treatment. They have tracked down 1,609 honoured individuals and composed for each a brief, pithy biography. In some cases these are a reminder of the courage of scientists whose dedicated research in remote locations exposed them to disease and even violent death. The eponym ensures that their memory will survive, aided by reference works such as this highly readable dictionary. Altogether 2,668 amphibians are listed.
