Nobel Prizes And Life Sciences

This book can be strongly recommended to historians of science. I hope that, I have given enough examples of what it covers to encourage historians of science to read this fascinating and informative book. -- British Journal for History of Science British Journal for History of Science The book focuses on selected topics rather than providing inventories and this makes it an especially enjoyable read. Norrby generously shared his knowledge and experience with us through this book, which I wholehearted recommend to all interested in how the Nobel recognition of discoveries and discoverers works. -- Structural Chemistry Structural Chemistry Who but a scientist of the caliber of Norrby, closely connected with the Royal Swedish Academy and intimately associated with the process of selection of Nobel Prizes for several years can provide a better account of the intricacies of this process. -- Current Science Current Science This book offers its readers a presentation of high scientific quality, evaluating highlights in the history of science which are of great value for readers with a good general education and also those who are more scientifically specialized It gives illustrious examples of the most striking advances within the life sciences during the 20th century. Informative, stimulating and very useful. -- Lakartidningen Lakartidningen
