"With only 0.2% of the world's population, Jews have been awarded 24% of all Nobel Prizes in medicine and science. American Jews, who number 2% of U.S. citizens, have received 37% of the American awards.
This vastly disproportionate number award winners exemplifies Jewish achievement and contributions to knowledge and human well-being."
The Super Achievers examines such topics as:
¿ The rarified world of Nobel Prizes
¿ What factors likely account for Jewish exceptionalism
¿ How America benefited from scientists that fled Nazism
¿ The rise of Israel as a science and technology powerhouse
¿ Lives and discoveries of groundbreaking Jewish laureates
¿ Prizewinners' origins, family and educational backgrounds
¿ Tectonic shifts: Where Jews live now and where they used to live
¿ Barriers to Breakthroughs: The Jewish American experience
¿ Nobel science award recipients worldwide
¿ Women who won Nobel Prizes in science
¿ Are science and religion compatible?
You'll also discover...
¿ The first American to receive a Nobel Prize in science-a Jewish Naval officer
¿ The German Jewish inventor of poisonous gas used in extermination camps
¿ Einstein's Nobel Prize was not for the Theory of Relativity
¿ Why Jonas Salk did not receive a Nobel Prize
¿ The 18-year-old Harvard student who was recruited to work on the atomic bomb project
¿ The Nobel physicist who solved the mystery of the Challenger space disaster
¿ The physician whose death was kept a secret so he could win a Nobel Prize
¿ An entrepreneurial laureate whose discoveries led to creating major pharmaceutical companies
¿ The oldest Nobel science prize winner-a ninety-six-year-old in 2018
¿ The Nobel physicists who had to wait fifty years to have their findings corroborated
