The author of this book was a physicist, chemist and a leader of the Soviet nuclear weapons program Nikolay Semyonov (1896-1986), who was awarded the 1956 Nobel Prize in Chemistry with Sir Cyril Hinshelwood for their researches into the mechanism of chemical reactions. He became the first Russian Nobel laureate in Chemistry and remained the only Nobel Prize winner in chemistry from the homeland of Dmitri Mendeleev up to 2023. Semyonov also was the first Soviet citizen to receive a Nobel Prize.
This second enlarged edition of the classic Semyonov's book was signed to his friend and colleague, an electrochemist, member of the Russian Academy of Science Alexander Frumkin (1895-1976), who regarded as a founding father of modern theoretical electrochemistry.
