Ya. B. Zeldovich was most assuredly one of the greatest physicists
and cosmologists of the 20th century. This volume presents
reminiscences about this exemplary academician, providing
biographical and historical insights from the friends, students,
and colleagues who knew him best. They outline Zeldovich's life and
achievements, from his early days in chemical physics through his
groundbreaking work in combustion and detonation, his role in the
development of Soviet nuclear and thermonuclear weapons, and his
contributions to nuclear and elementary particle physics, to his
later years in cosmology and astrophysics. Zeldovich: Reminiscences
not only pays homage to an outstanding scientist and his
accomplishments. It also offers incisive commentary on Soviet
science and the impact that Zeldovich had on future generations, in
the former Soviet Union and throughout the international physics
community.
