Description
"In this attractive book, photographer Peter Badge captures the likeness of every living Nobel laureate in a black-and-white image - resulting in a total of more than 270 striking portraits. Bringing readers face to face with Nelson Mandela, Jimmy Carter, the Dali Lama, James Watson, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Toni Morrison, Rita-Montalcini, Linda Buck, and Paul Samuelson among many others, "Nobel Faces" offers an intimate and compelling look at famous honorees as well as lesser-known recipients. Accompanying the photographs are brief biographical sketches, which celebrate each laureate's outstanding contribution to science, literature, or world peace, written by journalist Chris Richmond."--Jacket.
