    Extractions: By William Bruneau Historical statistics show biography is nearly as popular in the early 2000s as it was a century ago. Academics now think the field respectable and the public find it easier to understand biography than they do works in more abstract fields. Besides, biographers no longer moralize quite so much as they did before 1914. We are more sceptical than our Edwardian forebears. We think heroism, intellectual heroism included, is still possible. But we find it is rarer than it once was. We ask biographers to let readers make their own critical inferences about the effects on subjects' lives of power, social structure, institutional politics, family history and money. Above all, we expect this of the books about "famous" people.(1) In academe, few are so instantly famous as Nobel Prize holders. There are a dozen or so Canadian winners, nearly all in the natural sciences or in economics, some with only moderately close connections to Canada.(2) There are few substantial written discussions of these men, certainly none so thorough as No Ordinary Mike, and this lacuna may be explained by the risks involved in writing argumentatively about scientific "heroes."

Structurally, the book is divided into three parts: (1) an introductory section briefly describing the life and times of Swedish chemist and inventor of dynamite Alfred Nobel along with the creation of the prizes that bear his name (13 pages); (2) a much longer section, the heart of the book if you will, that describes the selected twenty-two individuals and one organization who have a Canadian connection and who have been honoured with a Nobel (88 pages); and (3) a small index and reference list (11 pages) that rounds out the publication.

Z by birthday from the calendar Credits and feedback Saint-John Perse (1887-1975) French poet and diplomat, who used the pseudonym Saint-John Perse to keep his literary activity private. Perse was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1960. He has been called the embodiment of the French national spirit and also a poet's poet for his emphasis on formal perfection and self-conscious way of choosing his words. Perse's solemn, oracular poetry was written in long lines that look like prose paragraphs but have a delicate musical quality. Perse's first collection of poems, ÉLOGES, appeared in 1910 under the name "Saint-Léger Léger." Its strongly rhythmical poems, which celebrate his lost Antillean paradise, drew the attention of among others. In 'King Light's Settlements' he remembers palms, servants, roots, the glowing, rich vegetation, and time when everything was more solemn. And then his Uncles talked softly with his mother, and there was a horse at the gate. In 1921 Perse returned to Paris and published the epic poem ANABASE (1924, Anabasis), which he had composed during his diplomatic stint in China. The epic is recited by a nomad leader. "... So I haunted the City of your dreams, and I established / in the desolate markets the pure commerce of my soul, / among you / invisible and insistent as a fire of thorns in the gale." Its odysseian feelings can be found from the work of other diplomat-writers, among them Pablo Neruda and

    Extractions: Odin Government Ministries Help ... Contact us The Nobel Peace Prize In his will of 1895 Alfred Nobel stipulated that the scientific prizes and the prize for literature should be awarded by Swedish institutions. But the decision regarding the peace prize he left to a committee appointed by the Norwegian parliament, the Storting. The reasons why the Swede Alfred Nobel entrusted this honourable task to the Norwegian national assembly are not quite clear. Norway and Sweden had been united under the same sovereign since 1814, but towards the end of the century Norwegian agitation for the dissolution of that union became increasingly strong. It may well be that this gesture was an attempt to defuse a conflict that threatened to explode. On the other hand there is nothing to indicate that Nobel was particularly involved in this constitutional crisis, living outside Sweden as he did for most of his life. Another explanation might lie in his presumed respect for the work of the Storting in the international field: for instance, its decision of 1880 in favour of international arbitration and its active support of the interparliamentary movement. The fact that the Storting appoints the five members of the Peace Prize Selection Committee does not imply that it is as such responsible for the Committee¹s decisions. The Committee is a completely independent body.

92. Linus Pauling: Nobel Laureate For Peace And Chemistry
    In 1954 Pauling was awarded the nobel prize for Chemistry. 1994 hails him inits headline as Twotime Winner of nobel prize; Vitamin C Advocate.  
    http://www.harvardsquarelibrary.org/unitarians/pauling.html
    
    Extractions: by Thomas Blair , Harvard College '03 Linus Pauling in 1958. Courtesy of the Boston Public Library Print Department. The biography of two-time Nobel laureate Linus Pauling may be just as extraordinary for its twists as for its peaks. Why did a boy who studied advanced mathematics at twelve years old nearly decide not to attend college? Why was he called unpatriotic and ousted from his job at Cal Tech while he led the struggle for the Nuclear Test Ban Treaty? And why is a Nobel laureate for chemistry still being called a 'fraud" and a "quack" by opponents of his "orthomolecular medicine"? Few would dispute the scientist-activist's creativity and independent thought. Beyond that, however, the life and career of Linus Pauling have seen controversy at nearly every turn. Pauling grew up in a German immigrant family in Portland, Oregon; the son of a pharmacist, he gained early scientific experience watching his father behind the counter. Pauling's father recognized and encouraged his son's extraordinary curiosity, as evidenced by a letter he wrote to the Portland Oregonian when his son was nine years old. The elder Pauling, seeking reading suggestions for Linus, wrote, "don't say the Bible and Darwin's 'Origin of the Species,' because he has already read them." An eager and independent student, Pauling remembered being fascinated with entomology at 11, geology at 12, and chemistry at 13.

    Extractions: Version for printing Julian Schwinger progressed rapidly through the public school system of New York City. He was an undergraduate at the City College of New York where he published his first physics paper at the age of sixteen. Isidor I Rabi, the professor who led the molecular beam laboratory at Columbia University at this time, persuaded Schwinger to study for his doctorate at Columbia. He received his doctorate in 1939 at the age of 21 for a dissertation in physics On the Magnetic Scattering of Neutrons. However, his thesis had been written two or three years before he was awarded the degree, there being problems in completing the formalities. Uhlenbeck [4] explained about Schwinger's problems in obtaining his doctorate:- I was in Columbia in and Schwinger was in trouble; he couldn't get his Ph.D. because he didn't go to lectures of the mathematicians and he didn't have enough credits. So Rabi had told Schwinger that he had to go to my lectures at Columbia; of course, he didn't because it was early in the morning, and I asked Rabi, 'What shall I do?'. I was of course perfectly willing to give him an 'A' on the course because he needed the credits. ... He clearly knew as much as I did - we talked as complete equals. ... Rabi said, 'No, you shouldn't do that, you should give him an exam and make it a tough one.' So I did. We made an appointment, and of course he knew everything. He somehow had got the notes.
