Nobel Peace Prize

Andrei Sakliarov was a Soviet physicist who became, in the words of the Nobel Peace Prize Committee, a spokesman for the conscience of mankind. He made many important contributions to our understanding of plasma physics, particle physics, and cosmology. He also designed nuclear weapons for two decades, becoming the father of the Soviet hydrogen bomb in the Ih.SOs. After recognizing the dangers of nuclear weapons tests, he championed the 1963 U.S.-Soviet test ban treaty and other antinuclear initiatives. 

From the 1960s onward, at great personal risk, Sakharov severely criticized the Soviet regime and ardently defended human rights against it. He won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1975.

In the 1930s a theoretical treatment of the covalent bond was developed by, among others, Linus Pauling (1901-1994), then at the California Institute of Technology. The atomic orbital or valence bond model won him the Nobel Prize in chemistry in 1954. Eight years later, Pauling won the Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts to stop nuclear testing. 

Linus Pauling (1901-1994) won the 1954 Nobel Prize in chemistry for his ideas about chemical bonds. Pauling was a leader in the movement to limit nuclear weapons, for which he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1963. 

Efforts to get Patterson a Nobel Peace Prize proved unsuccessful, despite Saul Bellow s frequent nominations. However, Patterson was elected to the National Academy of Science Asteroid 2511 was named for him and he won both the Goldschmidt Medal of the Geochemical Society and the 150,000 John and Alice Tyler Prize for Environmental Achievement, the highest award for environmental science. Finally, with retirement nearing, he agreed to become a Caltech professor. 

Finally, our impressions of the 1987 Soviet Union included the pleasure and pleasant surprise of a fleeting visit to our conference by Andre Sakharov, the great freedom fighter and distinguished theoretical physicist.

Pesticides are chemical or biological substances intended to control weeds, insects, fungi, rodents, bacteria, and other pests. They protect food crops and livestock, control household pests, promote agricultural productivity, and protect public health. The importance of pesticides to modern society can be summarized by a statement made by Norman E. Borlaug, the 1970 Nobel Peace Prize winner Let s get our priorities in perspective. We must feed ourselves and protect ourselves against the health hazards of the world. To do that, we must have agricultural chemicals. Without them, the world population will starve [1]. 

In 1954, Pauling received the Nobel Prize in chemistry for his research into the nature of the chemical bond and its application to the elucidation of the structure of complex substances. On October 10. 1962 he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts towards nuclear test ban treaty. 

Another great person who also won a Nobel Peace Prize was Dr. Albert Schweitzer, a German doctor who, like Mother Teresa, also selflessly served the poor and sick. Schweitzer dedicated himself to the people of Africa. In Africa, he built a hospital and a leper colony, a refuge for those who had been rejected by society. Again, he was not the first to offer care and comfort for the sick and suffering. But he certainly was great.

Of course these almost pathological fixations of many Jews to the Holocaust led to massive criticism even from the Jewish side.266 Even one of the most popular Holocaust authors, the Nobel Peace prize-winner Elie Wiesel, recently admonished not to let the Holocaust be a central point of reference for the Jewish identity. Under the title Do not get obsessed with the Holocaust he is quoted as follows ...
