Product Information

THE SUPERACHIEVERS by Ronald Gerstl "Properly, the Jew ought hardly to be heard of; but is heard of, has always been heard of. His contributions to the world's list of great names in literature, science, art, music, finance, medicine and abstruse learning are also way out of proportion to weakness of his numbers. He has made a marvelous fight in this world, in all ages; and has done it with his hands tied behind him. He could be vain of himself, and be excused for it. - Mark Twain Even Mark Twain would be surprised that with only 0.2% of the world's population, Jews have been awarded 25% of all Nobel Prizes in science and medicine, while Jewish Americans have received 38% of U.S. awards. This vastly disproportionate number of Nobel Prize winners highlights Jewish achievements and contributions to human well-being. The Superachievers explores the possible explanations for Jewish exceptionalism. It looks at prizewinners' educational, family, national and ethnic backgrounds, as well as their discoveries. It covers such topics as Germany's pre-World War II loss of scientists, which benefitted the United States. The book examines the breakdown of barriers which opened opportunities for American Jews. Lastly, there is the outlook for the future. Find out about these interesting Nobel Prize winners in science and medicine: The first American Nobelist - a Jewish naval officer The Jewish German chemist who discovered a way to mass produce fertilizer, a boon to world food production, but who also invented poisonous gas used in WWI and later in the death camps Einstein's Nobel Prize in physics was not for the theory of relativity The harrowing experiences of the scientists who fled Nazi Germany The 18-year-old Harvard student who was recruited to join the Manhattan Project to develop the atom bomb Why Jonas Salk did not receive a Nobel Prize The theoretical physicist who solved the mystery of the space shuttle disaster The physician whose death went unreported so that he could be sure to win the prize in medicine The entrepreneurial Nobel laureate who founded one of America's leading biochemistry companies to commercialize his discoveries. Anyone who is interested in an inside look into the fascinating and rarified world of the Nobel Prizes, the lives of groundbreaking scientists, America's preeminence in science, scientists' view of religion, women Nobelists and much more, will find The Superachievers a concise and engaging read.
