Each year the Nobel Prizes in the natural sciences reveal amazing
discoveries. New milestones in the relentless advance of science
are identified. The growth of knowledge and its evolution can be
researched in the Nobel archives where nominations are kept secret
for 50 years after the awards have been made. They represent a
treasure for real-time assessment of science. Norrby's earlier
book, Nobel Prizes and Life Sciences (2010) examined the unique
archival records until 1959. The present book takes us up to 1962,
surveying a range of dazzling discoveries. All prizes in immunology
are reviewed. Their impact on our capacity to control infectious
diseases and transplant organs are highlighted. The Nobel year 1962
is exceptional in recognizing the most major advance in biology
since Darwin in 1859 presented his theory of evolution. This was
the dramatic discovery of the double-helix structure of DNA by
Watson and Crick in 1953. The era of molecular biology had begun.
Its explosive development continues into the present.
