62. The Not So Noble Nobel Prize - Samuel Brittan: The Financial Times 19/12/03 The economics prize is not strictly speaking a nobel prize at all. The announcement of the 1994 economics prize winners came one and a half hours late. http://www.samuelbrittan.co.uk/text172_p.html

articles The not so noble Nobel Prize Samuel Brittan: The Financial Times 19/12/03 The connection between the controversial film actor Russell Crowe and the state of contemporary economics might not seem obvious, but it exists. Crowe took the starring role in A Beautiful Mind . This was the story of John Nash, a brilliant mathematician who descended into mental illness for several decades before recovering to become a joint winner of the Nobel Prize for economics in 1994 for his work on "game theory." While traditional economic theory was concerned with the behaviour of individuals or firms who could not affect their environment, in game theory interactions with others are studied in a highly stylised form with players, pay-offs and strategies. Game theory is now indispensable in the design of public auctions as well as in evolutionary biology. While the detail is highly mathematical many of its concepts have entered public discourse. Examples are zero sum games and non-cooperative equilibria. The Nash Equilibrium, invented in 1950, is the best result that can be achieved by players who do not co-operate but know each other's possible moves. A standard example is that of two drivers in virgin territory deciding on which side of the road to drive. If both drive either on the right or on the left it is a Nash Equilibrium: any other result is not. But in more complex cases the Nash Equilibrium is not always the best possible one that could be achieved if there were co-operation or the intervention of some enlightened despot.

A caricature is a drawing - or sometimes a sculpture, a piece of prose or poetry - in which the individual characteristics of the person being portrayed are emphasized. This something, strongly individual, could be a strange contour of the nose, a wild hair or a protruding chin. We all know, that we are very sensitive about the accuracy of the caricature. It must have qualities beyond those of a true picture. If the artist succeeds in producing the individual's specific variations of a common feature, the caricature becomes exciting and full of life, it is genuine. Thus, the artist must fuse the common general with the individual specific features. When the scientist tries to disclose the physical and chemical characteristics of living matter in order to understand and to explain the great variety of living forms, he must always bear in mind this combination of generality and individuality. He can distinguish a number of general properties which are common to all living forms, for example the ability to extract nutrition from the environment and to multiply so that the offspring is given a life pattern similar to that of the parents. Thus he sees an extreme regularity. Further, when the scientist studies the physical and chemical characteristics of the organism or of its cells he discerns new signs of strict organization and internal order. But he cannot neglect noticing that each individual in one or more respects differs from other individuals of the same species. Within the framework of strong order there must be space for individual irregularities.

To main page of www.paulmason.info To 'Maharishi Mahesh Yogi' title page Maharishi Mahesh Yogi The Biography of the Man Who Gave Transcendental Meditation to the World Paul Mason PART III : The Enlightenment Business Chapter 20 - Research And Developments But for the shortage of trained teachers of his Transcendental Meditation, the Maharishi might well by 1970 have been passing his time in the seclusion of some silent cave in Himalayas of northern India. His ashram, a symbol of his success, had been left in the hands of his closest devotees and brahmacharin. One young Western student, an Australian named Bevan Morris, had taken the unprecedented step of requesting the Maharishi to accept him formally as a chela. In preparation for the time when his master might have specific tasks for him, Bevan was to remain at the ashram and become acquainted with the rigours of his vocation. Custom decreed that as a brahmachari he must take on the traditional garb and habits of a monk and in addition to wearing ankle-length robes he also grew his beard and hair long. Since courses had been temporarily suspended at Shankaracharya Nagar, only the occasional visitor came to trespass on the solitude of the ashram.

The Biographical Dictionary of Scientists , edited by David Abbott, with the individual volume subtitles— Astronomers, Biologists, Chemists , and Physicists (all published in 1984) and Mathematicians and Engineers and Inventors (both published in 1986). Roy Porter, Associate Director of the Wellcome Institute of the History of Medicine, London, together with 34 other contributors, produced a second edition of this reference work in one convenient volume published by Oxford University Press in 1994. Together with Marilyn Ogilvie, Professor and Curator of the History of Science Collections at the University of Oklahoma, Porter edited a third edition of this biographical dictionary. Unfortunately, this highly acclaimed, prolific, and personally unconventional British historian died prematurely of an apparent heart attack on March 4, 2002 at the age of 55. The new edition includes entries by 43 contributors on 1260 men and women (compared to 1178 in the previous edition) from ancient times to the present day, with an emphasis on contemporary figures, in the fields cited above plus earth sciences, ranging in length from 7 lines (al-Sufi) to four pages (Sir Isaac Newton). Arranged alphabetically from Abbe to Zworykin, the extensively cross-referenced entries not only provide basic biographical information in historical and scientific context but also discuss the significance of the scientists’ contributions and show how their personal, social, political, religious, and artistic concerns affected their lives and careers. Once again, a short general introduction and succinct, updated historical reviews of the seven fields (8–10 pages each) are provided. More than 150 portraits, diagrams, photographs, and other illustrations are provided—a welcome change from earlier editions, which did not contain any portraits.

British History and Literature Online Author Maria Edgeworth (1768-1849), for whom there are entries in all of  the resources discussed here. Research in British and Irish history and literature has become a great deal easier at Duke with the libraries' recent addition of several major full-text databases that provide online access to primary sources and biographies. Now, researchers have the full-text of books, newspaper articles, diaries and letters at their fingertips, and they can perform far more sophisticated and detailed searches of the contents than ever would have been possible using print sources. History professor Susan Thorne writes, "Teaching British history at Duke is a pedagogical dream come true. Our access to primary sources has been greatly enhanced by recent acquisitions, which are so usefully outlined in Perkins Subject Guide to British and Irish Studies. Undergraduates do not need much specialized preparation to make their way via the index through the Times Digital Archive. And the rewards of reading contemporary coverage of the events we are studying in class are tremendous." It should be noted that because British influence extended throughout the world from the eighteenth to the twentieth centuries, researchers and students of Africa, South Asia, Canada, Australia and the American colonies also find these resources pertinent.    The database that is the most generally interesting and useful for researchers in many different disciplines is the Times Digital Archive

Is he/she a member of a particular ethnic, national, religious, social, or other community? Do you need a brief sketch or a lengthy, detailed biography?
