Description
Book SynopsisEric Lusito is a French photographer who has been travelling in the former Soviet bloc since the 2000s. In 2021, while in Kharkiv, Ukraine, he met in a scientist who agreed to show him his laboratory. The facility reminded him of the comic books of his childhood, inspiring him to embark on a new project, exploring the under-documented world of science.
Paul Josephson, professor emeritus in history, Colby College, has studied big science and technology across the globe for over four decades. In former Soviet spaces he has stepped into research institutes from the Kola Peninsula and the Arctic Circle to the Ural Mountains and Siberia, and in the socialist world from Ukraine to Bulgaria, Hungary, the Czech Republic and the Baltic states. Paul is the author of sixteen books on global science in the twentieth century.
