The Nobel Prizes in natural sciences have developed to become a
unique measure of scientific excellence. Using archival documents,
which have been released (50 years secrecy) for scholarly work, the
author expertly traces the strengths and weaknesses of the Nobel
system as exemplified by individual prizes. Surveys of the more
than 100 years that the Prizes have been awarded are also
presented.
This book discusses the most important prize in the world of
science and gives unique historical insights into how the laureate
selection process has developed to secure optimal choice.
No other book has been published which draws from previously
classified archival materials to the extent that this book does. It
indirectly deals with factors that foster scientific discoveries
viz. the role of both individuals and institutions and thus
provides invaluable insights for researchers, institutions and
anyone interested in science.
