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.
