New York, New York, October 22, 2002
Reliable
research and fascinating reading come together in in-depth
profiles of recent Nobel Laureates, just released in H.W. Wilson’s
Nobel Prize Winners 1997-2001 Supplement. Detailed
accounts of the lives and work of the 59 men, women and
institutions that received the prize from 1997 through 2001 are
presented in 1,200- to 2,500-word essays, with special emphasis
on the work for which the prize was awarded. Nobel Prize
Winners 1997-2001 Supplement is the fourth volume in
the Wilson Nobel Prize Winners Series, which delivers
biographical profiles of all 729 Nobel laureates from the
founding of the prize through 2001.
Complete Accounts of Lives and Works
"These aren't just capsule reviews: they're
in-depth, authoritative surveys which couple biographical
background with insights on the research or contributions which
earned the Prize," wrote The Bookwatch about Nobel
Prize Winners Supplement 1987-1991.
Readers and researchers will enjoy information
on each laureate’s early development, family background, and
formative influences; a description of the work for which their
Prize was awarded; and a critical assessment of their
contribution to their field. Each entry also features a photo of
the subject and a bibliography citing works by and about the
subject.
A thorough cross-referencing system, linking
profiles to others in the series, facilitates tracing
developments in specific fields—high-energy physics or modern
genetic theory, for example.
History of the Prize, Founder, and Selection
Process
Each Nobel Prize Winners volume also presents
information about the history of the prize, including convenient
lists of laureates by prize category, year of award, and country
of residence. In addition, each features a biographical sketch
of Alfred Nobel, written by biographer and historian Alden
Whitman, and a short account of the founding of the Prize,
including a description of the prize-giving institutions and the
awards process.
