| Title | Zeldovich: Reminiscences |
| Author(s) | R. A. Sunyaev (ed.) |
| Publication | Boca Raton, CRC Press, 2004. |
| Description | xxv, 360p. |
| Abstract Note | Ya. B. Zeldovich was certainly one of the greatest physicists and cosmologists of the 20th century. This volume presents reminiscences of this exemplary academician, providing biographical and historical insights from colleagues who knew him best. Zeldovich's achievements are outlined, including those in relativistic astrophysics and cosmology, the theory of combustion, and the Soviet atomic and hydrogen bomb projects. It contains incisive commentary on Soviet science and the impact that Zeldovich had on future generations, not only in the former USSR but throughout the international physics community. Zeldovich: Reminiscences is ideal for students of astrophysics and the history of science. |

| Title | Strangest man: The hidden life of Paul Dirac, mystic of the atomâ |
| Author(s) | Farmelo Graham |
| Publication | New York, Basic Books, 2009. |
| Description | 539p. |
| Abstract Note | Paul Dirac was among the great scientific geniuses of the modern age. One of the discoverers of quantum mechanics, the most revolutionary theory of the past century, his contributions had a unique insight, eloquence, clarity, and mathematical power. His prediction of antimatter was one of the greatest triumphs in the history of physics. One of Einsteinâs most admired colleagues, Dirac was in 1933 the youngest theoretician ever to win the Nobel Prize in physics. Diracâs personality is legendary. He was an extraordinarily reserved loner, relentlessly literal-minded and appeared to have no empathy with most people. Yet he was a family man and was intensely loyal to his friends. His tastes in the arts ranged from Beethoven to Cher, from Rembrandt to Mickey Mouse. Based on previously undiscovered archives, The Strangest Man reveals the many facets of Diracâs brilliantly original mind. A compelling human story, The Strangest Man also depicts a spectacularly exciting era in scientific history. |
