Books from the Soviet era
- tlogan 14y agoExcellent collection. Demidovich, Bronshtein, ... I still have nightmares even in my late 40s....
- Surio 14y agoI know...! Tell me about it :-)
- georgebalayan 14y agoDemidovich is the hard stuff!
- photorized 14y agoI had the physics book: General Physics – Landau, Akhiezer, Lifshitz
- cema 14y agoHeh. What about the original Russian ones? I still have several. Or, say, about the ones translated into Russian from English (and other languages)? They were very useful for my studies of computer science.
- alter8 14y agoThis is the first time I see moderation adding to the title instead of subtracting or replacing it. But in the way it is titled now, they made it look like I meant to submit the latest post and haven't put the permalink by mistake.
- alter8 14y agoI'm quite late for this, but anyway. To whoever has put the original title back, thank you.
- mudil 14y agoHere's a link to all their titles on TPB: http://thepiratebay.se/tag/mir+publishers/0/7 http://thepiratebay.se/tag/mir+publishers/0/7
- Surio 14y agoThanks :-)
- Surio 14y agoWhat a gem! What a discovery this site has been for me...... To the OP: You have my eternal thanks! They bring back mixed memories... The unblemished joy of returning back to childhood/youth and the absolute white-knuckle terror at the inability to solve many of the problems and getting reprimanded.... I am going to have sweet dreams and nightmares tonight - I am sure that would be possible, now that I have seen these familiar titles.... Thank you again, OP :-) [I know this is all against HN guidelines, but please let go this one time]
- curiousDog 14y agoHa! Looks like we had a similar childhood. Especially solving problems by I.E.Irodov. Thanks OP!
- Surio 14y agoAnyone has any guesses what would be the equivalent font to be used today if typesetting books like this? One guess would be Century Schoolbook which would be close to the original. Any others?
- zokier 14y agoWhat's the copyright status of these books?
