Saga of Russian scientist’s endeavors in two different worlds

These memoirs reveal author’s wanderings in childhood and youth, his family roots and struggles, passion in discoveries of unique physical phenomena for designing space-exploration missions, and events that led him, born to be a scientist, to the decision to leave his homeland, the Soviet Union, seek an awkward life path in the U.S., and continue the engagement in both science and teaching—the main purposes of his life.
