'The statuary and monuments catalogued in this impressive body of
work are accompanied by descriptions of the subjects their work and
achievements.'Chemistry WorldMoscow is the center of science and
higher education of Russia and is also an international hub of
science. There have been milestone achievements of science in
Russia (and the Soviet Union), especially in the areas of physics,
chemistry, mathematics, the conquest of space, various technologies
and medicine. However, the scientists and inventors often created
in isolation and have become less known than their discoveries
would justify. At the same time, there is no other city in the
world that has so many memorials honoring scientists as Moscow.
There is a caveat in that political considerations have often
influenced who was remembered and who was not. This book presents
statues, memorial plaques, and historical buildings. Not only
celebrated excellences are mentioned, but also some of the greats
that perished during the years of terror. The book is full of human
drama and 750 photos illustrate the narrative. Science in Moscow
follows Budapest Scientific and New York Scientific and is the
third in the series about memorials of scientists in great cities
of the world.
