On the Waves of a Pulsating World : An Engineer’s Adventures in Innovation, Education and Politics: From Russia to the West Hardback
by Vladimir Babitsky
Part of the Springer Biographies series
Hardback
Description
Vladimir Babitsky was born before the Second World War and migrated West after Perestroika.
The theory of vibro-impact systems that he developed helped create the world’s safest jackhammer and other record-breaking machines.
The author has lived through a series of fascinating epochs: experiencing life under totalitarianism, witnessing the Soviet Union’s collapse, and then migrating to Europe as a specialist in his field. “On the Waves of a Pulsating World” is an animated and highly engaging story about the journey of an engineer; from childhood daydreams to creating new technologies, from East to West, and from concepts to realities.
It is also the story of people who outshine authoritarianism.
