The quality of life for millions of people all over the globe has
been improved by the work of diligent biologists and doctors
working in the many branches of life science. An improved knowledge
of how the body functions at the genetic, cellular, physiological
and behavioural levels and a greater understanding of disease and
pharmacology have resulted in a reduction in human suffering. The
way is being paved for the effective treatment of some of the
greatest health problems of the late twentieth century - cancer,
AIDS and diseases caused by parasites.These two volumes are
collections of the Nobel Lectures delivered by the laureates,
together with their biographies, portraits and the presentation
speeches for the periods 1971 - 1980 and 1981 - 1990 respectively.
Each Nobel Lecture is based on the work for which the laureate was
awarded the prize. New biographical data of the laureate are also
included. These volumes of inspiring lectures by outstanding
scientists should be on the bookshelf of every keen student,
teacher and professor of biological and medical sciences as well as
of those in related fields.During the period 1971 - 1980 important
areas of research being recognized were as diverse as hormone
action and radioimmunoassays, infectious diseases, molecular
genetics, immunology, computerized tomography and social behaviour.
The laureates according to the specific year are:(1971) E W
SUTHERLAND JR - for his discoveries concerning the mechanisms of
the action of hormones; (1972) G M EDELMAN & R R PORTER - for
their discoveries concerning the chemical structure of antibodies;
(1973) K VON FRISCH, K LORENZ & N TINBERGEN - for their
discoveries concerning organization and elicitation of individual
and social behaviour patterns; (1974) A CLAUDE, C DE DUVE & G E
PALADE - for their discoveries concerning the structural and
functional organization of the cell; (1975) D BALTIMORE, R DULBECCO
& H M TEMIN - for their discoveries concerning the interaction
between tumour viruses and genetic material of the cell; (1976) B S
BLUMBERG & D C GAJDUSEK - for their discoveries concerning new
mechanisms for the origin and dissemination of infectious diseases;
(1977) R GUILLEMIN & A V SCHALLY - for their discoveries
concerning the peptide hormone production of the brain; and R S
YALOW - for the development of radioimmunoassays of peptide
hormones; (1978) W ARBER, D NATHANS & H O SMITH - for the
discovery of restriction enzymes and their application to problems
of molecular genetics; (1979) A M CORMACK & G N HOUNSFIELD -
for the development of computer assisted tomography; (1980) B
BENACERRAF, J DAUSSET & G D SNELL - for their discoveries
concerning genetically determined structures on the cell surface
that regulate immunological reactions.
