Nobel Lectures in Chemistry 1971-1980 (Nobel Lectures, Including Presentation Speeches and Laureate)
Editorial Reviews
Mansel Davies, The Chemical Intelligencer
These volumes present impressive coverage of the substantial foundation of the road on which advances in Chemistry was laid during two decades ... The volumes are thus rich source-books for historians of Chemistry ... A general impression of astonishment is created. The depth and range of the lectures is remarkable ...These are accounts of the prize-winner's work at two levels. Each scientist is introduced to the general audience (before receiving his prize) by a spokesperson appointed by the Swedish Academy. Their brief statements usually succeed in clearly placing the recipients contributions in the wide field of chemical science, and, incidentally, reveal some of the considerations which have led to his award. Then the scientist gives his own account of his work. This is not only valuable as a summary of all-important developments, it often indicates the source which triggered the studies and the factors (frequently colleagues) contributing to their success ... These volumes offer a rich lode to be mined by students of Chemistry. They are, in every sense, weighty volumes and will add greatly to any reader's appreciation of the research interface of Chemistry.
Magdolna Hargittai, Structural Chemistry, 1995
Judging from these two chemistry volumes the Nobel Foundation made an excellent decision ... The lectures present a panoramic view of the frontiers of chemistry in the two decades covered ... These volumes are worthy of their contents. They are elegant, produced with taste and care. The prices are surprisingly low if compared with prices of similar volumes on the market. World Scientific is to be congratulated for this project in its entirety ... I recommend them to all chemists, and in particular, to all graduate students.
