I am editing a new edition of the The Nobel Population: A Census of
the Nominators and Nominees for the Prizes in Physics and Chemistry
1901-1937 (Berkeley and Uppsala, 1987). The edition (book and CD-ROM) will
comprise the years 1901-1951. It is to be published in 2002 by Universal
Academy Press (Tokyo).
This new edition will provide biographical data on some 600 candidates for
the Nobel prizes in physics and chemistry, 1901-1951 and on those who
nominated them. Despite my best efforts I am still missing biographical data
for 12 candidates. I am turning to the subscribers of this list for help.
Please answer directly to [log in to unmask] The person who
provides information for three candidates or more will receive a free copy
of the book.
