"Diamond Is Fragile was one of my favorite books from my late grandfather's library. Much to my surprise (and dismay) it was only published once in the former Soviet Union approximately 50 years ago and (to the best of my knowledge) has never been published abroad.

I hope that other English-speaking readers who are interested in these disciplines will enjoy it as well." (Maria K., translator)
