Lev Landau. The Last Genius in Physics / Lev Landau. Posledniy Geniy Fiziki (in Russian Language) - Hardcover
Synopsis
An illustrated Russian biography of Lev Davidovich Landau (1908-1968), a Soviet physicist who made fundamental contributions to many areas of theoretical physics. His accomplishments include the independent co-discovery of the density matrix method in quantum mechanics (alongside John von Neumann), the quantum mechanical theory of diamagnetism, the theory of superfluidity, the theory of second-order phase transitions, the Ginzburg-Landau theory of superconductivity, the theory of Fermi liquid, the explanation of Landau damping in plasma physics, the Landau pole in quantum electrodynamics, the two-component theory of neutrinos, and Landau's equations for S matrix singularities. He received the 1962 Nobel Prize in Physics for his development of a mathematical theory of superfluidity that accounts for the properties of liquid helium II at a temperature below 2.17 K (-270.98 °C).

On sam nazyval sebya poslednim fizikom-universalom - i vremya pokazalo, chto v ego slovakh ne bylo khvastovstva. Landau mog reshat zadachi iz prakticheski lyubogo razdela fiziki - chto i uspeshno delal. Emu doveryali te problemy, s kotorymi v SSSR nikto ne mog spravitsya. Neudach u Landau pochti ne bylo, chto bylo otmecheno massoj nagrad i zvanij, v tom chisle i Nobelevskoj premiej.V to zhe vremya Landau ne byl skuchnym kabinetnym uchenym.
