This is one of life’s great mysteries. A literature search has revealed no publications. I had thought that Mr Valev worked at the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, but Petr Kuzmic has pointed out that he is actually employed by the State Commission of Varieties, 125 Tzarigradsko Chaussee, Block 1, 1113 Sofia, Bulgaria, and apparently it is only his web connection that comes through the Academy. Subsequently he described himself as the head (since 1994) of the Technological Laboratory of this Commission, and described its work as testing, approbation and control of seeds. Puzzlement on this subject extends even to Bulgaria, as B. V. Toshev, head of the Departments of Physical Chemistry and of Chemistry Education at the University of Sofia, noted in a message to the Chemistry Education Discussion List in April 2005, when he asked Who is Pentcho Valev? What is his education? Nobody in Bulgaria knows that. He does not belong either to the researchers or to the Bulgarian education community. I even wonder if he is a real man?! A small bit of light was shed by Mr Valev himself in January 2000 in a message to the UK chemical education news group: I am not an educator not even a scientist. It just confirms what we had already deduced, of course, but it is helpful to have it from an authoritative source. Source - http://bip.cnrs-mrs.fr/bip10/valevfaq.htm
