Russian - English Glossary of Nuclear Physics and Engineering
Published by Consultants Bureau, Inc, New York, 1957
First Edition
Wraps. Condition: Fair. [2], 195, [1] pages. Text is in Russian and English. Cover worn and soiled with corner of back cover torn off. Ex-library with usual library markings. This glossary incorporates all terms of the Russian - English Dictionary of Nuclear Physics and Engineering by N. N. Ershov, Y. V. Semenov, and A. I. Cherny (Ed. -- D. I. Voskoboinik, D. Sc.) published by the Institute of Scientific Information of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR. More than 2,000 additional terms have been added. This first glossary is a compilation of Russian terms and expressions used in nuclear physics, atomic energy, and related fields. It includes expressions fond in several thousand pages of the most recent issues of Soviet journals, especially the JOURNAL of EXPERIMENTAL and THEORETICAL PHYSICS, the Physics Section of the PROCEEDINGS (DOKLADY)OF THE USSR ACADEMY OF SCIENCES, the JOURNAL OF TECHNICAL PHYSICS and the JOURNAL OF ATOMIC ENERGY. With the vocabulary thus obtained we have combined existing bilingual dictionaries published in the USSR but not generally available in the United States. The Academy of Sciences of the USSR made such dictionaries available to this project. The Editor was associated with a number of Russian-English technical dictionaries published by the Consultants Bureau and later by Wiley. This is an early post World War II/Cold War era Russian English technical glossary. It is not a dictionary because it does not provide definitions, just the word or phrase in the other language. Nevertheless, this is an important data point that can be used to help determine how specific technical terms might have been used and understood in the initial Atoms for Peace Eisenhower program era. Presumed First Edition, First printing thus.
