Yukawa H. Lectures on Physics / Translated from Japanese.
Moscow : Energoizdat, 1981. — 128 pp. — Paperback, ordinary format.
Hideki Yukawa (1907–1981) was a Japanese theoretical physicist, the first Japanese person to be awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1949 for the theoretical prediction of the existence of mesons, which hold the atomic nucleus together. His work had a fundamental influence on the development of elementary particle physics.
The book is a transcript of lively and informal lectures that represent not a systematic course, but the author's profound reflections on the nature of physics, its creators, and unsolved problems. The text, which preserves the atmosphere of direct communication with the audience, combines autobiographical notes, vivid portraits of contemporary physicists, and philosophical observations on scientific creativity. The edition possesses significant literary and historical value, revealing to the reader the personality of the great scientist and his unique perspective on science.
