This invaluable collection of memoirs and reviews on scientific activities of the most prominent theoretical physicists belonging to the Landau School — Landau, Migdal, Zeldovich, Smorodinsky, Ter-Martirosyan, Kirzhnits, Gribov, Larkin and Anselm — are being published in English for the first time.
The main goal is to acquaint readers with the life and work of outstanding Soviet physicists who, to a large extent, shaped theoretical physics in the 1950s–70s. Many intriguing details have remained unknown beyond the “Iron Curtain” which was dismantled only with the fall of the USSR.
Contents:
- Lev Landau
- Arkady Migdal
- Yakov Zeldovich
- Yakov Smorodinsky
- Karen Ter-Martirosyan
- David Kirzhnits
- Vladimir Gribov
- Anatoly Larkin
- Alexei Anselm
- Time and Destinies
- Some Details for Experts
Readership: Students and teachers of physics in high schools and colleges.
