Popis: A historical summary of the early classic papers in shock compression science is presented with the purpose of establishing the foundations for more recent studies of shock waves in solids. The major (largely theoretical) works of the period from 1808 to 1949 have been previously brought together into a single collection [Johnson and Cheret, Springer-Verlag, New York, 1998]. Important papers on shock waves in condensed matter from 1948 to the present were not included in the collection, largely because of their relatively easy accessibility. This paper provides a supplement to the original collection allowing research workers and historians to trace the major developments leading to the establishment of the unique field of shock compression in solids.
