Publisher Summary This chapter profiles the life and works of physicist Evgenii Mikhailovich Lifshitz. Respect for professionalism was one key note of his relationship with others. For this reason, he was particularly critical of negligence in dealings and obscurity in expression. In a matter for which he was responsible, he became really demanding. For many years, E.M. was in charge of the JETP editorial operations. The chief editor was P.L. Kapitza, but the day-to-day work was controlled by Lifshitz. Evgenii Mikhailovich gave quite a lot of attention to teaching. The curricula vitae list several higher educational institutions where E.M. taught. Teaching at several institutes was typical of Soviet scientists in the 1930s and immediately after the war. The rapid increase in the number of Educational institutions made it necessary for some teaching to be done by scientists from the academy of sciences institutes, but they too were insufficient in number and had to work in several places. |
