ISTVÁN HARGITTAI Authored and Edited Books CV (excerpts) Books Recent papers Papers about   art & science Papers about   science history Research papers Books by István Hargittai The languages of books are indicated by E (English), H (Hungarian), R (Russian), D (German), Ch (Chinese), J (Japanese), I (Italian), SE (Swedish). There are only three books in this list that did not have a version in English. There are two books compiled from selections of Istvan Hargittai's non-technical articles, one from his articles in Hungarian and the other from his articles in English (the two sets are not related by translation). These two volumes were recently compiled and edited by Balázs Hargittai, but they are listed among István Hargittai's authored books. Note that many, but not all books are presented with their cover image. Authored Books I.Hargittai, B.
