The Beginnings of the Nobel Institution

The Beginnings of the Nobel Institution

Elisabeth T. Crawford

Cambridge University Press
1987
pokkari
The Nobel Prizes have long been the most prestigious awards in the world of science. Established according to the wishes expressed in the will of Alfred Nobel (1895), the annual awards began in 1901. The Nobel Archives preserve the detailed study of the inner workings of the prize committees, and the archival documents, available for historical research since 1974, open the door to important new scholarship in the history and sociology of the prizes. Elisabeth Crawford was one of the first to gain access to the Nobel Archives at the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences and in this book she analyzes the early history of the prizes in physics and chemistry. Crawford sets out in detail the story of the intricate inner workings of the process whereby the prizewinners were selected. A fascinating picture of the contemporary international scientific establishment emerges, one shedding light on how the developing Nobel institution became enmeshed in speciality and other networks, notably those of Arrhenius and Mittag-Leffler, the two Swedish scientists who were best known internationally at the time. While the general development of disciplines and the standing of scientists in international and national communities heavily influenced the selection process, the cases presented in this book show that the specific choices of specialities, discoveries, and people to be honored were determined by the Swedish participants in the process. The question of how, after some initial uncertainties, the Nobel Prizes became synonymous with the highest achievements in science and culture is also addressed. This detailed study of the birth of what have become science’s highest accolades will interest historians and scientists alike.

Trädgårdens magi skapas i jorden, men man behöver kunskap för att förstå den. Jorden är växternas skafferi, den sköter deras vatten- och näringsförsörjning och är ett läkande apotek. Omsorgen om jorden är grunden för en lyckad odling och en blomstrande trädgård. Jord kan vara tung och fuktig, sandlätt och torr, mullrik, mörk och väldoftande. Den är centrum i trädgårdens arbete och behöver näras, skötas och bearbetas av både människohand och idoga dagmaskar och småkryp.Trädgårdsboken om JORD ger svar på allt du behöver veta om jorden! Lär känna och förbättra din jord, lär dig gödsla och vattna på bästa sätt, starta en välgörande kompost, gräv och bearbeta. Du får noggranna råd och hjälp med planering, plantering och odling. Här möter du en odlares väg till bättre jord, en jordtillverkares historia och verksamhet och får träda in och inspireras av olika specialträdgårdar där jord och mikroliv ger förutsättningar för skiftande former av odling. Boken är rikt illustrerad med över 150 bilder och teckningar. Tabeller, lathundar och ett jordlexikon ger snabb och överskådlig information. I denna nya upplaga får du också läsa om Hydroponisk odling, odling i vatten eller arbetande vatten. Hydro betyder vatten och ponic är grekiska och betyder typ arbetande. Babylons hängande trädgårdar var förmodligen hydroponiska. Sagt om boken:"För den riktigt vetgiriga och informationssökande! Innehåller allt som man behöver och vill veta för både nybörjare och odlingsGurus! Det är en mäktig bok, det är något som är säkgert!"Håkan Wallander är professor i markbiologi vid Lunds universitet. I sin forskning belyser han hur svampar samarbetar med växter för att gynna näringsupptag och mullbildning. Han har besökt många spännande platser: regnskog i Sydamerika, öken i Afrika, glaciärer i Nordamerika och skog och tundra i Skandinavien.

I denna antologi beskrivs social exkludering, inte som ett tillstånd eller en situation som någon befinner sig i, utan som en aktörs­driven process. Här visar forskare i socialt arbete hur social exkludering kan användas som analytiskt begrepp och kritiskt perspektiv för att synliggöra och förstå exkluderingsprocesser inom en rad olika områden.I fokus för bokens analyser står de aktörer, tekniker och praktiker – men också de ideologier, problembeskrivningar och kategoriseringar – som understödjer, ger upphov till, legitimerar och reproducerar social exkludering i form av ojämlika livsvillkor, nedtystade röster eller otrygga, underordnade positioner. Med ett samtidsfokus diskuterar bokens författare innebörder och konsekvenser för det sociala arbetets praktik och policyutveckling.Social exkludering kan användas såväl på socionomprogrammet som på utbildningar i socialt arbete på avancerad nivå samt kurser i sociologi, kriminologi, socialpsykologi och socialpedagogik. Boken vänder sig också till yrkesverksamma socionomer som vill vidareutveckla det sociala arbetets praktik, liksom till andra som är intresserade av frågor som rör sociala exkluderingsprocesser.

Sarah Bradford's Elizabeth is the definitive biography of the Queen, revealing the real woman behind the public figure The Queen lived through nearly a century of immense change and upheaval. Her own family experiences, a mixture of happiness and crisis, weddings and divorces, and, in the case of Diana, violent death, have been lived in the glare of tabloid headlines. More than 2 billion people watched the wedding of her grandson Prince William to Catherine Middleton in 2010 shortly before she made the first State Visit to Ireland by a British monarch for 100 years. Our world has changed more in her lifetime than in any of her predecessors': and before her death, the Queen remained a calm presence at the centre, earning the respect of monarchists and republicans. How did she do it?__________________________'The only book that could overtake it is the autobiography, which in this case will never be written' Spectator'Bradford has a real grasp of history and the ability to make it spark into new life' Sunday Telegraph'Bradford's forte, ever since she was a history-mad girl, is thinking herself into other lives' Daily Telegraph

History has pictured Elizabeth I as Gloriana, an icon of strength and power -- and has focused on the early years of her reign. But in 1583, when Elizabeth is fifty, there is relentless plotting among her courtiers -- and still to come is the Spanish Armada and the execution of Mary, Queen of Scots. We have not, until now, had the full picture.This gripping and vivid portrait of her life and times -- often told in her own words (and including details such as her love of chess and marzipan) -- reveals a woman who was insecure, human ('You know I am no morning woman'), and unpopular even with the men who fought for her. This is the real Elizabeth, for the first time.

Elizabeth Taylor is known internationally as one of the most beautiful and talented women ever to grace the silver screen. She has won two Academy Awards and starred in over sixty films. She is just as well known for her tempestuous personal life, marrying eight times and suffering through innumerable health problems. A cultural icon, she has been written about before . . . but never like this. This moving book traces for the first time Elizabeth's journey through the dark and often lonely world of a fame unparalleled in the 1960s and 1970s, a time during which alcohol and drugs played a major part in her life. It would be with her fifth (and sixth) husband Richard Burton (with whom she made twelve movies, including Cleopatra) that she would learn life lessons about love and loyalty that would inform the rest of her life and, finally, be the catalyst for her recovery from alcoholism in the 1980s. This book also details her philanthropic work as an AIDS activist in the 1990s as well as her stunning success as a business woman today (with a multi-million-dollar fragrance). Based on years of research, this is not just a star's biography . . . it's an unforgettable woman's story.

Elizabeth Wydeville, Queen consort to Edward IV, has traditionally been portrayed as a scheming opportunist. But was she a cunning vixen or a tragic wife and mother? As this extraordinary biography shows, the first queen to bear the name Elizabeth lived a tragedy, love, and loss that no other queen has since endured. This shocking revelation about the survival of one woman through vilification and adversity shows Elizabeth as a beautiful and adored wife, distraught mother of the two lost Princes in the Tower, and an innocent queen slandered by politicians.

Each anthology in the Quill Collective series is a stand-alone book."Obstinate, headstrong girl " For over two hundred years, the heroine of PRIDE AND PREJUDICE, Elizabeth Bennet has enchanted and inspired readers by being that "obstinate, headstrong girl" willing to stand up to the arrogance and snobbery of her so-called betters. Described by Austen as having a "lively, playful disposition," Elizabeth embodies the perfect imperfections of strong-willed women everywhere: she is spirited, witty, clever, and loyal. In this romance anthology, ten Austenesque authors sketch Elizabeth's character through a collection of re-imaginings, set in the Regency through contemporary times. In ELIZABETH: OBSTINATE, HEADSTRONG GIRL, she bares her most intimate thoughts, all the while offering biting social commentary about life's absurdities. Elizabeth overcomes the obstacles of others' opinions, not to mention her own flaws, to find a love truly worthy of her-her Mr. Darcy-all with humor and her sparkling charm. "I think her as delightful a character as ever appeared in print..." wrote Jane Austen in a letter to her sister Cassandra, January 1813―and we think so too Foreword by NY Times & USA Today bestselling author Tessa Dare. Stories by: Elizabeth Adams, Christina Boyd, Karen M Cox, J. Marie Croft, Amy D'Orazio, Leigh Dreyer, Jenetta James, Christina Morland, Beau North, and Joana Starnes.
