Foreword
Since 1901 the Nobel Foundation has published annually “Les Prix Nobel”
with reports from the Nobel Award Ceremonies in Stockholm and Oslo as
well as the biographies and Nobel lectures of the laureates. In order to make
the lectures available to people with special interests in the different prize fields
the Foundation gave Elsevier Publishing Company the right to publish in
English the lectures for 1901-1970, which were published in 1964-1972
through the following volumes:
Physics 1901-1970 4volumes
Chemistry 1901-1970 4volumes
Physiology or Medicine 1901-1970 4volumes
Literature 1901-1967 1 volume
Peace 1901-1970 3 volumes
Elsevier decided later not to continue the Nobel project. It is therefore with
great satisfaction that the Nobel Foundation has given World Scientific
Publishing Company the right to bring the series up to date.
The Nobel Foundation is very pleased that the intellectual and spiritual
message to the world laid down in the laureates’ lectures will, thanks to the
efforts of World Scientific, reach new readers all over the world.
