Product Description
Vitaly L. Ginzburg shared the 2003 Nobel Prize in Physics for his pioneering work on Superconductivity and Superfluids. THE PHYSICS OF A LIFETIME is Ginzburg's personal account of a life in science. Readers interested in understanding the important problems in 20th Century Physics and Astrophysics will enjoy Ginzburg's firsthand account of their historic development over the past 60 years. Ginzburg's personal accounts of famous scientists of the 20th Century - including Einstein, Bohr, and Feynman - make this book fascinating for non-physicists, too. The book consists of three main parts: I: Major Problems of Physics and Astrophysics II: The Philosophy and History of Science III: Memorial Essays on Famous Physicists
