The Beginnings of the Nobel Institution by Elisabeth T. Crawford Pdf

The Nobel Prizes have long been the most prestigious awards in the world of science. Established according to the wishes expressed in the will of Alfred Nobel (1895), the annual awards began in 1901. The Nobel Archives preserve the detailed study of the inner workings of the prize committees, and the archival documents, available for historical research since 1974, open the door to important new scholarship in the history and sociology of the prizes. Elisabeth Crawford was one of the first to gain access to the Nobel Archives at the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences and in this book she analyzes the early history of the prizes in physics and chemistry. Crawford sets out in detail the story of the intricate inner workings of the process whereby the prizewinners were selected. A fascinating picture of the contemporary international scientific establishment emerges, one shedding light on how the developing Nobel institution became enmeshed in speciality and other networks, notably those of Arrhenius and Mittag-Leffler, the two Swedish scientists who were best known internationally at the time. While the general development of disciplines and the standing of scientists in international and national communities heavily influenced the selection process, the cases presented in this book show that the specific choices of specialities, discoveries, and people to be honored were determined by the Swedish participants in the process. The question of how, after some initial uncertainties, the Nobel Prizes became synonymous with the highest achievements in science and culture is also addressed. This detailed study of the birth of what have become science's highest accolades will interest historians and scientists alike.

The Impossible Takes Longer by David Pdf

Bringing together a rich assortment of quotations by Nobel Prize winners, "The Impossible Takes Longer" lends itself as easily to browsing as to research purposes. David Pratt has been collecting quotes from Nobel laureates since 2003, and chose for this book his favourites. Words of wisdom from literature, peace and economics winners feature prominently, but Pratt has made sure those awarded the prize for physics, chemistry and medicine are also well represented. As a result, this anthology brings to light some more obscure, but no less relevant, bons mots. Entries grouped by topic are prefaced with brief introductions by Pratt that prove as thought-provoking as the quotes themselves. From Achievement to Emotions, Science and Technology to Time, Life and Death, the quotations touch on a wide range of subjects. A section of aphorisms on the Nobel that highlights laureates' reactions to winning the award, and to the attendant pomp and circumstance, provides a sort of metacommentary ("It is as good as going to one's funeral without having to die first," said Emily Balch [Peace, 1946]). Three appendices, including a history of the Nobel, mini biographies of the laureates quoted and a comprehensive list of laureates, enhance the volume's utility as a research tool. A keyword index makes finding that apropos quote simple. The enduring observations of these 249 Nobel laureates will delight and enlighten the reader repeatedly.

The Nobel Prize by Agneta Wallin Levinovitz,Nils Ringertz Pdf

The Nobel Prize, as founded in Alfred Nobel's will, was the first truly international prize. There is no other award with the same global scope and mission. The Nobel Prizes in Physics, Chemistry, Physiology or Medicine, Literature, Peace, and the Bank of Sweden Prize in Economic Sciences (from 1969) have not only captured the most significant contributions to the progress of mankind, they also constitute distinct markers of the major trends in their respective areas. The main reason for the prestige of the Prize today is, however, the lasting importance of the names on the list of Laureates and their contributions to human development. In celebration of the centennial of the Nobel Prize in 2001, this book offers a clear perspective on the development of human civilization over the past hundred years. The book serves to present the major trends and developments and also provide information about the life and philosophy of Alfred Nobel, the history of the Nobel Foundation, and the procedure for nominating and selecting Nobel Laureates.
