Lee Jong-ho: Nobel Prize in Physics 2

Many people who formed the backbone of modern civilization have received Nobel Prizes, but this book is not a collection of biographies of Nobel laureates. Its purpose is to help readers understand that their achievements are directly connected to our everyday lives and that we benefit greatly from them. It is also true, as in any field, that scientific by-products stemming from Nobel Prize-winning work can have effects as great as the prize-winning achievements themselves. The book therefore focuses on presenting a broad picture needed to understand the foundations of the Nobel Prize and the ripple effects of the laureates’ work. Since its main subject is the Nobel Prize, quite difficult technical terms do appear. The author explains them as plainly as possible, but many people say that even hearing the word “science” gives them a headache, and some readers may still find it difficult. To help, the book includes Nobel Committee citation statements in many sections. These statements explain why the laureate deserved the Nobel Prize, and their advantage is that they are written so ordinary people can understand them.
