In About Science, Myself and Others, Vitaly Lazarevich Ginzburg,
co-recipient of the 2003 Nobel Prize in Physics and Editor of the
review journal Physics-Uspekhi, provides an insight into modern
physics, the lives and works of other prominent physicists he has
known, and insight into his own life and views on physics and
beyond.
Divided into three parts, the book starts with a review of the key
problems in contemporary physics, astrophysics, and cosmology,
examining their historical development and why they pose such a
challenge to today's physicists and for society. Part One also
includes details of some of Professor Ginzburg's work, including
superconductivity and superfluidity. Part Two encompasses several
articles on the lives and works of several prominent physicists,
including the author. The third part is a collection of articles
that provide a personal view of the author, describing his personal
views and recollections on a range of wider topics.
Taken together, this collection of articles creates an enjoyable
review of physics, its philosophy, and key players in its modern
development in the 20th Century. Undoubtedly, it will be an
enjoyable read for professional physicists and non-scientists
alike.
