Editorial Reviews

Translated from the Russian edition of 1988. This collection of personal essays and reminiscences celebrates the life and work of one of the most revered figures of 20th century Russian physics. The English edition features material not included in the Russian volume such as several articles, a new foreword, and a complete list of Budker's publications. The book opens with a series of popular articles and essays by Budker, followed by remembrances that shed light on two major periods of his life: his early work at the Kurchatov Institute in Moscow from the end of WWII through 1957, and his founding and direction of the Institute of Nuclear Physics in Novosibirsk until his death in 1977.
