Description

Explore the history of scientific achievement with Scientific Elite: Nobel Laureates in the United States. Part of the Foundations of Higher Education series, this book examines the stratification system within twentieth-century science. It tracks the professional paths of American laureates who won prizes between 1907 and 1972, looking at how merit and privilege shaped their careers. This study provides a deep look into the creation of the scientific ultra-elite. By using biographical and bibliographical data from laureates who conducted their prize-winning research in the United States, the text offers a detailed historical perspective. The research is supported by interviews with forty-one of the fifty-six laureates living in the United States at the time of the study. This book is a valuable resource for those studying social and urban history, the history of science, or the evolution of higher education in America.
