Il premio Nobel è uno dei più prestigiosi riconoscimenti culturali che possa essere tributato a una persona. Ma è ben lungi dall’essere un vaccino contro le cantonate... fisici, chimici, medici e letterati, tutti premi Nobel, ne sono stati vittime. Il libro racconta in modo brillante e divertente le bizzarre teorie e i clamorosi errori di alcuni premi Nobel. Questo significa che il prestigioso premio svedese è una cosa poco seria? No! Dimostra soltanto che il principio di autorità nella scienza non ha alcun valore: più che l’ipse dixit, contano i fatti!

In this incisive and rich account of Benjamin Franklin's life and career, Richard Munson recovers this vital part of Franklin's story.
