Descriere
Moscow is the center of science and higher education of Russia and is an international hub of science. There have been milestone achievements of science in Russia (and the Soviet Union), including physics, chemistry, mathematics, the conquest of space, various technologies, medicine, and other areas. However, the scientists and inventors often created in isolation and have become less known than their discoveries would justify. At the same time, there is no other city in the world that has so many memorials honoring scientists as Moscow. There is a caveat in that political considerations have often influenced who was remembered and who was not. This book presents statues, memorial plaques, and historical buildings. Not only celebrated excellences are mentioned, but also some of the greats that perished during the years of terror. The book is full of human drama and 750 photos illustrate the narrative. Moscow Scientific follows Budapest Scientific and New York Scientific and is the third in the series about memorials of scientists in great cities of the world.
