New milestones in the relentless advance of science are identified. The growth of knowledge and its evolution can be researched in the Nobel archives where nominations are kept secret for 50 years after the awards have been made. They represent a treasure for real-time assessment of science. Norrby's earlier book, \u003ci\u003eNobel Prizes and Life Sciences\u003c\/i\u003e (2010) examined the unique archival records until 1959.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe present book takes us up to 1962, surveying a range of dazzling discoveries. All prizes in immunology are reviewed. Their impact on our capacity to control infectious diseases and transplant organs are highlighted. The Nobel year 1962 is exceptional in recognizing the most major advance in biology since Darwin in 1859 presented his theory of evolution. This was the dramatic discovery of the double-helix structure of DNA by Watson and Crick in 1953. The era of molecular biology had begun. Its explosive development continues into the present.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eContents:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Magician of Virology from Australia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Divided Nobel Prize and a New Era in Immunology\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMore Nobel Prizes in Immunology\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImmunity, Infections and Transplantations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTransgressing Borders in Science and Scenes of Life\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaking Sense of Hearing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnraveling the Complexity of Protein Folding\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e“It's So Beautiful, You See, So Beautiful”\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCoda\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReadership:\u003c\/b\u003e General.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"World Scientific Publishing Company, Incorporated","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47139871916272,"sku":"9789814522014","price":46.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9789814522014_p0.jpg?v=1763691175","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9789814522014","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
