This is the second volume of a two-volume collection of over 100
articles spanning half a century of work by the late Soviet
scientist Yakov Borisovich Zeldovich. The breadth and depth of
Zeldovich's work is staggering. Author of over twenty books and
more than 500 scientific articles, he made fundamental
contributions in chemical catalysis and kinetics, combustion and
the hydrodynamics of explosive phenomena, nuclear chain reactions
and nuclear energy, the physics of elementary particles, and the
large-scale structure of the universe and cosmology. The importance
of this collection lies not only in its documentary value as a
collection of key scientific works by a man of genius. Zeldovich
himself considered his most valuable role to be that of a teacher,
to convey to young scientists the how of science. The author of
several excellent textbooks on topics ranging from elementary
mathematics to advanced methods of mathematical physics, he saw
this collection of works, enlarged from the original Russian
edition, as a contribution to that end. Commentaries by the author
and the editors are included with each paper serving to enhance
both the historical and the pedagogical value of this edition. The
passing of Yakov Borisovich Zeldovich in December, 1987, was a loss
felt deeply by scientists all over the world. This collection of
his works serves as a tribute to him as a man, a scientist, and,
above all, a teacher. Originally published in 1993. The Princeton
Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again
make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished
backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the
original texts of these important books while presenting them in
durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton
Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly
heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton
University Press since its founding in 1905.
