Download The Nobel Prize: A History of Genius, Controversy, and Prestige AudioBook Free
Founded 100 years earlier by the inventor of dynamite, the Nobel Reward is the world's most famous and controversial honor. It grants or loans its winners instant star and acclaim for "service to mankind", despite accusations that it's too trendy, arbitrary, and narrow-minded. In examining both its fame and notoriety, Burton Feldman starts up the Nobel organization and process: how it originated, how it operates, and exactly how it is affected by outside stresses (political, moral, personal, and academics). The Nobel Reward is an extraordinary work that never fails to wonder, provoke, and amuse. This is actually the only publication to explore every aspect of the prize: its founder, its aura, all its fields (books, physics, chemistry, medicine, tranquility, and economics), and its own laureates' personalities and rivalries, as well as the Nobel's controversies and blunders.
