Wiley-VCH, 2008. Hardbound. New Book. Hardbound. From Alexei Abrikosov, the Russian-born physicist who won the Nobel Prize for his contributions to the field of condensed matter physics, to Rolf M. Zinkernagel, the Swiss immunologist who won for helping to discover the restriction of major histocompatibility complex antigens, this book presents 305 black and white photographic portraits of Nobel Prize winners in the fields of physics, chemistry, physiology or medicine, economics, peace, and literature. The full-page photographs are accompanied, on facing pages, by career summaries and descriptions, usually, of the reasons the individual was awarded the Nobel Prize. Among the well-known figures appearing here are former UN Secretary General Kofi Annan, former Costa Rican president Oscar Arias Sanchez, economist Kenneth Arrow, novelist Saul Bellow, former US president Jimmy Carter, novelist J. M. Coetzee, the Dalai Lama, and former US Secretary of State, as well as many others who are certainly well known in their respective fields, perhaps not least because they won the Nobel Prize.
