This 1987 volume is the definitive and most complete authorial edition of the legendary "Supplemental Chapters" by Vitaly Ginzburg (1916–2009), a Nobel Prize laureate and one of the giants of Soviet theoretical physics. Often referred to by physicists as the "Third Ginzburg," this work represents the culmination of nearly forty years of research and pedagogical refinement. While it was originally conceived as a supplement to the famous Landau and Lifshitz Course of Theoretical Physics, it evolved into a monumental, self-contained encyclopedia of "non-standard" physics.
The book covers an extraordinary range of topics that were central to Ginzburg’s scientific life: the theory of radiation reaction, the electrodynamics of media with spatial dispersion, and the fascinating physics of superluminal sources of radiation. Ginzburg provides a masterful exposition of the Ginzburg-Landau theory of superconductivity, transition radiation, and the propagation of waves in plasma—areas where his contributions redefined the field.
A significant portion of the monograph is dedicated to Theoretical Astrophysics, a field Ginzburg helped pioneer in the USSR. He explores the origin of cosmic rays, the nature of pulsar emission, and the propagation of radio waves in the interstellar medium. The text is uniquely Ginzburgian—characterized by deep physical insight, a preference for "physical" intuition over dry formalism, and a vibrant, engaging narrative style that captures the intellectual excitement of 20th-century discovery.
This third edition, significantly revised and expanded shortly before the collapse of the Soviet Union, remains an essential cornerstone for any theoretical physicist or astrophysicist. It captures the "Golden Age" of Soviet physics at its peak, providing not just formulas, but a comprehensive worldview of the physical universe from one of its most profound thinkers.
